The old IHPVA site is no longer supported and we seem to have lost a  
lot of history.  The gmane link has some data.

I have started a pedal powered boat thread at www.boatdesign.net.  It  
is a very good site.  Just register and away you go.  You can post  
images and video on that site.  It has a huge data resource.

I have been on the journey of understanding for about 5 years now and  
am happy to pass on what I have learnt.

I have spent a lot of my life on water for recreation and some work  
but I have not had as much pleasure as I get from  my various  
pedalled craft.  I think it is a largely untapped frontier of  
development.  Hope you find it enjoyable.  You have to dare to be  
different to get satisfaction from it.  So there are no dumb ideas or  
questions.
