Thus rigged, the trimaran setup can touch 11 or 12 knots in a burst. Yet, even with the sailing rig in place, the crew can row at four knots for hours on end if the wind doesn't suit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRowCruisers equipped for sailing have done well in just about every coastal adventure race, including the Race to Alaska and the Everglades Challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBetter than Camping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those serious about camping on the water, this is an improvement over an open boat's tent. When the wind picks up, a tent becomes a sail, and its flogging is a prescription for a wet and sleepless night. The Angus RowCruiser, on the other hand, puts a hard top between you and the weather. Many of the camp-cruiser tent designs we've seen have to be rigged ashore. The RowCruiser cabin provides dry space to store gear, and most importantly, the decking adds a great deal to the RowCruiser's seaworthiness.
