Inside Passage Sea Trials Movie

On Feb 16th, 2010, Greg Kolodziejzyk and Bryon Howard pedaled a human powered boat 325 km up Vancouver Island's inside passage from Nanaimo, BC to Port McNeil, BC. It took the team 60 hours pedaling virtually non stop.

Greg Kolodziejzyk will pedal WiTHiN 3000 miles across the Pacific ocean from Canada to Hawaii this July.

@davetileguy

Nope. Things doesn't work like that in the real world. Think waves bigger than the width of the boat, couple it with high winds, and all of a sudden you'll realise it's not such a good idea. Secondly, it can pretty quickly feel rather violent sitting in a trimaran or a catamaran if the waves are just the right size, jerking the boat violently to keep "level" with the waves coming from the beam or close to the beam.

@NBM397 well it should stay upright then.

@davetileguy

Outriggers would make a self-rigthing boat stay inverted.

Seems awfully slow, to be honest

@shorerydr10 Not necessarily a big gear,a choice of gears to dial in wave conditions,passengers,weekend practice empty or a fully loaded trip,prop planes have variable pitch props,I don't know about the flywheel it would just be an interesting experiment.
