Jim Martin, the guy in the video, will be making the trip up to ORC with me.  He'll have a SOT Raptor with him for those of you that would like to caress it.

That thing is waaay cool.  I would love to have one when I get a little smaller.  Wouldn't mind seeing how it feels at ORC :)

    Here's a new one ( video ) that shows the sail / motor/ and fishing of the SI model.  A couple Halibut  caught.    In the red yak (bottom right )  is also a nice Salmon caught 30 minutes earlier..
