Yeah that's pretty cool, but I don't know who authored it. My own pictures are very low tech. Ted |

This Adventure Island has lines running toward the bow and the top of the mast, just like mine does when I'm going to fly my jib. Hmmm... Wish I had looked closer at the time.  The start: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yct0BMp1ZvI The stragglers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwzFbxyQdjo The kiteboarders down at the end of the beach: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3nKVJokSrM |

As I looked at all the interesting home-built sailboats on the beach, I could not help thinking that paddling or rowing them would not be fun. I looked at the AIs that were participating and thought that perhaps it would be fun, if the boats had a bit more room to move about and if they went over waves instead of through them. 300 miles in an AI exceeds my attention span. I want a different Mirage Drive. One that you pedal from the side, not from in back. Actually, I want two of them. I see a cat ketch like this Core Sound with two Mirage Drive wells and two sideways Mirage Drives.  For most of my life, I did not believe there would be a better way to move a kayak than a good paddle. Ketterman changed that with the Mirage Drive, making the paddle obsolete, an astonishing accomplishment. We put trolling motors that belong on fishing boats into our kayaks. Why am I the only one who wants to apply the Mirage Drive technology to little sailboats? Am I going to have to do this myself, or is Hobie going to do it? The Bravo Mirage would be supercoool! |
