LOL, you were one of my original inspirations for even looking at them in the first place. Yeah I'm sold. Now it's just how much of a hole I want to dig in my bank account.

Thanks for the enthusiastic reply! Haha, still laughing about how many posts you put up.

So when you are primarily in sailing mode, do you just lock the peddles back, or do you remove them entirely?



One of these days I will have one also - primarily to sail with...

You can just leave the drive in, it acts as a second dagger board. If you can swing it, I suggest getting a 2015 or 16 because of the increased volume, sail size and seat. Also the newer one is a bit more stable without the amas, I can even stand on it in calm water. If not, the classic version is still great and at it's core, is an adventure kayak so you can always use that by itself.

Pedals

One of the fun things about the AI is the pedal system...you can peddle out in the am when it's flat then sail back in when the wind picks up...the other is the acceleration you can get out of the peddles as you tack.
There are a lot of faster sail boats but none that are as easy or fun to fish from.
