Triad

The Triad takes its lines from the Greek sponge boats, a shape that has been doing this work for centuries, and turns them into a 12 ft boat that rows, sails or motors without being bad at any of the three. She will take an engine up to 5 hp, though the company leans towards an electric outboard with a solar charger, and she carries a real load: they have rowed her with five people aboard, and she is a steady enough platform to fish or dive from.

The full-length keel is what makes her row straight, and it also lets her sail with the board up in shallow water, which the kick-up rudder completes. She is a close relation of the Amphora, their 8 ft rowing boat, and shares its habit of tracking straight and holding its way despite a broad beam, because there is very little boat in the water when she is lightly loaded.
