I think you mean tandem. At first I wasn't sure if you meant tantrum. We have all had some of those while sailing!

Nice but what would you do if you fell in and then trying to waterstart?

+1. great feeling and what a ride for the little fella but....if something breaks or something that causes an unplanned dismount, you'd want to respond pretty quick. I love it but i hate it. Great pic though

the little fellow got a full neck lifejacket on.we only went out a short distance .tacking was interesting .the idea was not to fall in & we didn't light winds made it easier there was a quick release on the front of me if anything did go wrong just a bit of fun.l wouldn't recommend doing this to anyone

Doesn't look safe to me! Consent of your brother in law?

Unreal! Looks like you know what you are doing and you're both having fun. Better than being inside watching Peppa Pig.

If your lucky, he might return the favour, in 40 years time.

Why?? It's completely irresponsible IMO. So many things can go wrong. I simply don't see the point of taking such a risk.
