Looks great, but when you wipe out can you get it going or is it a 24 pound $500 anchor?

I saw an early version on a human powered boat website. I’ve since contacted the company that makes them about the sinking issue.

If you stop or wipe out, you sink. Water starts on early models were impossible. As far as I know, it must be started (and ride finished) on something solid or you swim.

The propulsion concept is intriguing.
