A Tandem Pedal Boat

by Laurie McGowan and Michael Schacht

WB No. 247: The design employs two H2Pro-Ped units, which have transom-mounted drives—outboard-motor style. Spinning the propellers in opposite directions will turn the boat in its own length, and one unit may be removed to allow for solo pedaling.
