All things boats and sailing

If it floats I will sail it.

Oh, I thought it was another thread about riding your eMTB bike in England...

That's got to be one of the smallest sailing canoes I've seen. Is there a leeboard on the other side?

Currently trying to work out how to tow a 16' open canoe with an e-bike...

P.S. Cotswold Water Park?

Priorslee lake Telford.
It was a Spanish fly whitewater playboat with a flat bottom. Defiantly no leeboards.
I have had a Canadian aqua plane when pulled by a large power kite think over 15knts, rooster tail off the stern rudder.

The doctors have never certified me despite that.
I think a bridle might do it but aqua planing will make it fun.

You can easily carry a packraft or gumotex Twist on a bike.
Last summer I rode and paddled part of the Spey with my MTB strapped to the front of the packraft

Every time this thread pops up, it reminds me of my time living in Germany.

Water sports had a different meaning for me over there

I was thinking on a trailer... The Twist is something I'm considering, that or a cheap toy dinghy. Can't afford a proper packraft.

Towing from the towpath hadn't occurred to me (I don't have a canal here). Not sure 250W is enough to get on the plane. Soundwave?

I've seen 6knts on the GPS downwind. That's scary enough.
