Nothing said here gives me confidence that products like this encourage more ppl into sailing.

It just takes one big gust or wave and some mayhem arising from it to discourage a potential new sailor on these things. We all know these incidents happen when sailing, but they are part of the challenge and having an experienced skipper at the helm to encourage the whole crew to deal with it is a good thing.

Do something for the sailing community, train a crew.

Back to topic...
It is a kayak with three propulsion options; sail, pedal, paddle...that's all. Kayaks with sails (and paddles) have been around for ages.
