Pedalos™ is the Howard Performance competition
entry. Pedalos™ was designed and hand
crafted by Harry Howard, and piloted by former Olympic cyclist
John Howard. The single side outrigger complete with a WaveWalker®
drive train, won both flying start 100 meter sprint, and drag
race at HydroFest 2000, the unofficial US sprint championship
held in Heartland MI.
Not content
with their sprint victories, the Howard brothers took on all
comers including both pedal driven vessels and a C-1 unlimited
canoe at the Sparta, WI 24 hour endurance race later in the
summer. The boat set a new International Human Powered Vehicle
(IHPA) and American Canoe Association world record of 104.6
miles. Although demand for the sleek 24 foot Pedalos™
has been high, the boat is still a company "prototype
test mule" for even more exciting future designs. Production
is scheduled to begin in the fall.
