There was a lot of demand but hardly anything like it when the Sport Tandem was unveiled This narrow, very fast double is perfect for athletic couples who want to really cover the miles, whether it for exercise, super-fast touring or winning races.

Most Sport Tandems are sold to people who have watched with dismay as one disappears over the horizon in front of them during a race. However, whilst intended for racing or working out, the Sport Tandem can still carry a large load of gear. This makes it ideal for multiple-day unsupported races or swift tours. Although it is also used in the Devises to Westminster Marathon.

Hard chines permit a narrow waterline for speed with excellent secondary stability. A
coordinated team can lean the Sport Tandem to carve turns. Designer John Harris remarks, "The concept is very much like our North Bay Greenland-style hull, lengthened, with the same swoopy lines. Unlike the North Bay, however, the stern has been tweaked to take a standard Feathercraft K2 rudder." A rudder, in fact, is a good idea on a tandem of this length and straight-line tracking ability.
