The RNIB hailed the Orbit reader as being a revolutionary development in affordable, refreshable Braille, but since coming onto In Touch in April last year with assurances of it being available within six months, the machine is still not available in the UK. Ian Macrae updates us on the situation and talks to members of the Transforming Braille Group, which is part of the consortium of blind groups supporting the Orbit. British blind sailors won gold medals in the recent World Blind Sailing Championships, held in Sheboygan, USA. Toby Davey, Lucy Hodges and Sharon Grennan joined Peter to talk about their tactics, techniques and passion for the sport. Presenter: Peter White Producer: Cheryl Gabriel.
