Terra Wind wins the 'what were they thinking?' prize hands down. "Not intended for ocean use" they say.

No kidding.

Thanks for the youtube link. What I hadn't noticed from stills but that is quite surprising from the video is that the wheel wells are not completely submerged... I would have thought it would sit deeper in the water, which would make it more stable.
Even on calm waters on a windy day, with so much lateral surface, it must drift quite a bit...
