Toucanoe is recreational kayak, designed for daytrips with kids and overnight trips with two adults on sheltered waters. Max total load is ca 250kg ( including boats weight ). There is also option to convert kayak to sailing trimaran. Trimaran is best sailed as solo( fastest ), but it can take nicely another adult. With two adults and two small kids it is ok for day sailing. The trimaran is not designed for big open waters. When weather grows up, waves might splash to seats and slow speed down and make things wet. Max speed what I have reached is 7.4 knots - on quite strong wind. It started to throw some water inside, but was still comfortable to sail. Trimaran uses Michael Storer´s Ozracer rig and foils. So If you want to try trimaran sailing, you also need to purchase Ozracer plans : It is also possible to do canoe sailing without building the trimaran. Plans contains required modifications to fit Michael Storer´s drop in kayak rig and RSS 36 square feet canoe sail to the boat.
