Our advices to enjoy your boat
You can enjoy your row with or without the mainsail hoisted. The sail is high enough to be able to row without being hampered. If the wind is in the right direction, the support of the mainsail can give you some speed.
If two of you board the Lite XP 16, your passenger will be seated on the bench facing you in the direction of travel of the boat. You can therefore chat face to face and steer the boat. The bench is wide enough to carry two children.
The LiteXP 16 can also be used without a mast or sail, for nice rowing trips. For rowing, it is advisable to remove the centerboard for more efficiency. The sail can be easily secured in the boat while you row, using the clips provided for this purpose.
