Being curious, I worked through the details of the paddle mechanism of
Paddlin' Madeline, with the isometric rendering visible at the URL

I guess, to save time, you'd cut the parts out in multiple batches
and replace them as they wear. Hard wood and grease might see a
surprisingly long srvice life under human power! I think a
continuous axle would be better than stubbs. The set-up might be
better under low decks than cranks...
I'm enjoying looking through more of Mr W R Watt's site that was

I'm always dissappointed when I recall that Archaeopteryx #202 got a
bermudan sloop rig after PCB had feedback that people didn't like
the look of the original spritsail rig. The original spritsail mast
step and partner was left in the plans, but the rig was eliminated.
Sad really, as for sure like PCB said, the boat would rip flying a
then $4 bedsheet for a spritsail, grabbed right off the bed. I
wonder if it reappeared as the COLD WATER SAILBOARD spritsail rig?
Could fit.
PCB did a lot of spritsails - he never mentioned it as I recall, but
I wonder if he was thinking amateur builders would often have to
make their own, and so gave them a good rig that could hardly fail
to have please? He did mention he even had a tentmaker make one of
his own sails, a sharpie type IIRC, at one time, and the big
improvement in a poorly performing boat when the sail was recut by a
sailmaker! Sprtitsails are so easy and give such a good performance
return that no wonder they were popular everywhere once.
A case of an old sailor who's 4-sheets to the wind beating a lot of
others lying down ;-)

I'm not sure why you'd need a 3-speed transmission anyway?! Most power boats just have F-n-R.
