Matt, I think it's a great product, and maybe we speed freaks could add a spinnaker kit <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I ride my bike around a lake to keep the beer gut in check, I have often wondered if I could somehow put my bike on a set of hulls, remove the rear wheel and hook the chain to some sort of propeller drive unit, then ride ON the lake instead of around it, where I'm always at risk of being hit by cars.

How do you steer it? How does this system compare to say riding a bike 20 miles? Same work out? Harder? Easier? Will I want to pedal this thing for an hour straight? I rented a paddle boat (pedal powered, two seats, side by side) last month and it sucked big time, too heavy, too slow and too hard to pedal fast. The pedal motion was not smooth, but more like thump-thump, thump-thump. Not something I wanted to do for more than 15 minutes.

Is the pedal motion smooth and how fast does it go with a -semi- fit person pedaling the eqivelent of 20 mph. on a road bike, not using the sail?

But I love the sail, can we make it bigger?! And at what wind strength will the amas start to go under?

Oh, and where can I test drive one near central Florida? Oh yeah, what's it cost, ball park?
