Yep - definitely no photoshop involved. The ballast is installed after the boat is launched, and you steer with foot pedals. It even flies a full spinnaker with a pole ;)

Those little boats are so cool. When I lived in the keys a fellow would come sailing from out of one of the canals every once and while in one of these. Always got attention and few questions. Such as... How do you get into and out of that little boat?
