THISTLE (FIN BOAT)
The Fin boat is designed to be propelled like a fish. She has an extremely flexible fin at her transom which is controlled by reciprocating foot pedals. Thus, using your strongest muscles, she can be propelled and steered by legs alone, leaving the operator's hands free for navigating, or binocular and camera use. Although capable of keeping up with any oar or paddle propelled boat of her length, she is at her best silently swimming close to wildlife or just enjoying the water-borne equivalent of an afternoon walk.
