   Uthred,

   I did some digging on this boat and found out that the amas were custom built by Attila at Custom Inflatables.

   He built another set for me that I have used in the EC the past two years.  They are very tough (made from the same material he uses for his whitewater boats) so they can handle the rigors of an EC.  Since they are custom built, they can be made almost any size you want, mine (and those in the schooner) are 9" diameter and 10ft long.  In retrospect, I wish I had made mine a few feet longer, but they still work great.

   Since the video is of my boat, the "Three Amigos" , I wouldn't say it's the fastest sailing kayak on the water, but probably the quickest BSD rigged sailing kayak.  Here's a clip to put speed into some perspective.

   Hi DogPaddler,

   I still say your sailing kayak is the fastest saying kayak on the water. I have never seen any sailing kayak  go faster.
