I am curious as to how you plan to maneuver a big fish around the pontoons and get it close enough to gaff or release. You will need to share some stories with us down the road.

On the other side, those boats are really fun to sail. There is this interesting effect called "virtual wind" that occurs when you peddle while sailing. The forward motion created by the peddles pushes wind over the sail creating lift. If you peddle at 3 mph when the wind is blowing at 3 mph, the boat moves through water as if the wind was 6 mph. Very cool.
