Updated to say that I paddled and sailed the original for several months – and I love this little boat! The thwart gives one a very comfortable position, and sailing is done facing forward, with no need to move around. She is fast, flat and stable to sail, and the simple outrigger system works amazingly well . . . hiking consists of merely scooching over, or casually leaning, to one side or the other.
As for paddling, she moves along quite easily, and is – really – the most stable human powered boat I have ever been on. She feels like a dead solid platform on the water – but paddles effortlessly. She’d make the best kayak fishing platform I can think of.
** Also, Splinter can be built as a 15′ / 4.57m long boat, givng a little more room and capacity. **
