You can easily pedal the TI solo all day when it's calm or even in winds up to 10 mph or so. But if you're fighting strong winds or a strong current and your speed goes below 2 mph you'll begin to loose rudder control and that can be dangerous. There have been times where I could not get back to the launch area because of strong winds which came up later in the day using only the pedals myself. So just be aware of that. That's why I'm now considering this when I sail solo:
