at 87kg obviously rotomolded? (my French is terrible)

Ready for any Corps of Engineer's standard boat ramp.

Could give a holiday/resort boat like the Wave a run. Those wheel/rudders are idiotproof.

Will only give anything a run if it stays upright, looks tender as hell and holiday/resorts done like scaring the customers

If they are racing one design you could put the starting line on the beach, Or maybe put "A" and "B" on the beach for a high speed reach. Really great spectator possibilities

Other than it looks dead slow in the water and don't think it would work well on dry fine sand like Fla, you really need to be able to retract a set of wheels so it stays put during wind shifts.

They're wearing helmets! Perhaps if this thing were a bit larger you could expect to put two adults on it...but then the wheels would sink into the sand. I'm not rating this one high on the potential success scale.

With retractable landing gear and a wing, it would fly! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Could make for an interesting race...half on land, and half in the water...with the entry/exit thru the surf.

Of course as was already mentioned the beach would have to be hard pack...In the area of Florida I live a cat without any wheels would move on land as well as this one with wheels. That is… with our soft sand neither one would move an inch.

Now this is a developmental class boat!

That thing looks like it does two things, and neither of them well. Incapable of any kind of real performance at all.

I bet I could have fun with it!

That's it...I'm putting wheels on the FX.

"For raid and pleasure."

Raid?

I would really love to rig the boat in my driveway and then sail through my neighborhood to water.

I would have to sail about 10 miles to the lake, but hey it could be fun.

two words: retractable beach wheels!


....um...ok...three.

Well, get to it Jake...

Apparently their target market is Viking or Pirate plunderers. Sail right up on the shore, grab what you can, and make a clean getaway on the water. A little sailing, a little pillaging; sounds like a fun weekend to me!

There doesn't look to be much room to store your booty when you pillage....or any other kind of booty that something cool like that thing might help you get.

I guess you could customize with a king size bed replacing the tramp-like thing.

Blasphemy!!
