That sounds really cool, Steve . . .
I'd like to hear more about the make, model and design . . .

Subject: Yet another method of
propulsion
My dad has a manual outboard engine-essentially a gearbox on a
shaft, with a big, slow turning prop. You pump its tiller up and down to
make it go. It's over thirty years old, and I've never used it, but it
fascinated me as a child. It's very light; even an 8 year old can pick
it up. If I get a chance, I'll try it on our P-15, but beware: I'm
building Michalak's 14 ft Piragua canoe, which is taking all my boating
time. The good news is, I have about two more coats of epoxy and
painting to complete it. Wahoo!
Cheers
Steve Tyree, P-15 #2098 "Amy Ann"

Wouldn't this be really hard on the rudder gudgeons
and
pintles as well as the pivoting rudder points? I
am going to try to
"paddle" my M-15 this weekend with
a long canoe paddle and the rudder
tied off. I have a
short channel(about 30 yards) out of the marina
with
about 6 or 8 seaplane wings sticking out into the
channel. Very
narrow clearance but I think I can make
it. Wish me luck!
