Dunno about a new one, but a sail kit for the porta-bote is on ebay now.


reportedly, the porta-bote is a far better dinghy than sailboat.

Of that I'm sure. But the new improved sailkit has yet to be tested by anyone

Well, do you think the 10 or 12 would plane with a 6HP and 2 people?

Not if your fat ass is one of them. Maybe a 60HP

He said that with the 6HP and with 3 adults, she'd do 12-14 knots

and with just me upwards of 20 knots under mild
conditions.


So, he hasn't seen you yet.
