Many designs, some store presser in 2 liter bottles for emergence used to back up out of the water.

There are some more pictures of his work here - The Wind Powered Sail-less Boat https://www.boatdesign.net/threads/the-wind-powered-sail-less-boat.24669/page-11#post-238573. I was going to say from 5 years ago, but it's been 14 years.
