Pedals are attached to a crank and propelled in circles, or to a treadle and reciprocated, [citation needed] with the feet.

The boat is 15 feet 10 inches (4.83 m) long, and broad and deep enough for three adults to comfortably sail for several hours. Longer trips are undertaken by enthusiasts, notably Frank Dye who sailed W48 'Wanderer' from Scotland to Iceland and Norway , crossing the North Sea twice.
