That's a top speed of 2 knots / $700 bucks = $350 per knot of speed. (only when the wind is blowing)


I got some enchanted underwear that will get you at least 2.5 knots for $100 bucks.

Let me know frank I'll give you a deal.

Frank it looks like it works a lot better the a PA hatch flipped wide open.

You must be feeling guilty because no one mentioned your name. Funny thing is a year ago you were one of the guys that always had good things to say, and useful info, but lately your condescending comments have been adding nothing to the sport, or this forum, but hay what do I know I don't fish.

Condescending?

Hey! That's my middle name!

You got a problem with me? file it with the complaint department over on Matts desk, he'll review it for you. He'll get back to you in about 6 months.

The motors are pretty cool but they sure do add a lot of weight to the kayak.


Frank, you need to join the Dark Side!!

Would the sail work if the wind is blowing in your face? So if the wind direction is coming from where you are heading, how would you adjust the sail to gain pushing force?

Doesn't really work, you always have to go at some angle relative to the wind. You can sail at an angle somewhat into the wind but not directly, so when sailing sometimes you will have to zigzag to reach your destination.

I believe tacking up wind is what you're talking about. Remember, people sailed the globe and I bet the wind was not always at their backs.

No way Jose! I will not sacrifice essential space (storage/protection) for pedals.
