[FurryKing19]

is that kayak still about I would love to have that... looks awsome good for lakes

[Mag4live]

How about linking the prop system (dual transmission) to a fan at the top (roof) to provide some ventilation on the inside?

[iseesyouthere]

so thats where Aptera got there idea from

[4one4me]

well aerodynamic shape means that big waves are les likely to break something when theyre pierced...

[vivitar45]

be stuffy and hot in that thing thats all

[leviterande]

aerodynamic ? ahahah is he schumacher...

[Chornbeak]

that is very true

[efletch91]

The thing is pretty damned stable if you saw the stability and wave testing. The only issue I see is it being able to stay on course. Frankly, though, it seems like this guy has gone through a lot to develop it and test it, and I bet he understands what he needs for this expedition far better than you or I.

[Chornbeak]

Yes, but at the extremely slow speeds that this boat travels at, a fairing designed for something that will go 100mph is excessive. By no means am I saying that a fairing should be obsolete, but it would be more practical if the design was more geared towards ocean survivability rather than aerodynamics

[efletch91]

Umm, you don't know what you're talking about. When you want to set a record pedaling across the Atlantic Ocean, where you would need to make headway through some extremely windy conditions, and where you want to have your boat make forward motion as efficiently as possible for a long, fast voyage, you want the boat to be efficient, no?
