Should be very easy to check as there is a CLC Mill Creek kayak in the US
somewhere with a Mirage drive (plus outriggers and sail rig, which must be 
easy to delete)! Finding another Mill Creek somewhere nearby would not
be impossible, and to have two paddlers, switching back and forth, going
along the same distance under similar circumstances should be doable!
