high visual contrast (e.g. impaired vision)(refer to Figure 1)
social space (e.g. acknowledging how people are using time on their boats)
medical provision (e.g. more personal health care equipment will need to be incorporated)
internet connection (e.g. Wi-Fi, remotely controlled appliances will become standard)
Figure 3 illustrates the difference between low contrast (middle shelf), medium contrast (top shelf) and high contrast (lower shelf). By ensuring that the dishes stand out against a contrasting background, all users (regardless of ability or disability) will benefit.

CONCLUSION
With the shift of our population in terms of aging and disabilities and ‘time deepening’ use of leisure time, the boat as extension of the home will need to satisfy more supra-functional needs than ever before. Gaining empathy with the current and future boat owners will assist designers to focus on authentic needs to ensure more appropriate design outcomes.
