Description

Excerpted from the website:

In the early 1980's Garry Hoyt, world renowned yacht designer from Newport, Rhode Island, decided to try his hand at designing a pair of pedal boats. The first of these became known as the Waterbug, and he enticed his friends, the Harken Brothers (makers of yacht hardware of international fame) to build this boat. It quickly became evident that, while the performance of the Waterbug was outstanding, there were three significant shortcomings. First, the small, tight cockpit that housed the single peddler could become unbearably warm. Second, the "floating egg" styling was a little too funky for most tastes. Third, the boat was so expensive to manufacture that it was difficult to sell at a reasonable cost.
