Tiki 21 alternative propulsion?

by Rick Proven

The local lake we sail on is in a National Park. They have just banned motorized water craft. The Tiki sails so well in light air we don’t need much propulsion. Has anyone tried using sweeps or a stern oar as an alternative to the motor?

    Look up the pedal drive style by Rick Willoughby out of Australia. They are simple and extremely efficient.

    Search for "Yuloh". You will find sketches and tipps! 

    In the forum of the Junk Rig Association you will find Slieves report: https://junkrigassociation.org/slieve
