Robust is a bit of an understatement. Read my post above.
Also, the green duck boat on the tandem trailer in the gallery I posted went from LA to San Jose over part of the 101. Multiple minutes of wound-out hill climbing back to back.
The grey boat with the canopy went from the Western tip of Montana to Austin TX, and many times I hit my power limit for multiple minutes on end. (due to the wind load of the bridge and canopy)
