Dick Brass would like our team to design and construct a self-propelled kayak. This kayak would extend the range for regular kayakers, assist older paddlers who prefer not to paddle, and give resorts a safer option for their guests. When not under power, this kayak will retain the properties and feel of a traditional kayak, especially its stability and maneuverability. Our design will be an elegant, safe and intuitive product that is easy and fun to use.
