I am currently building my 4th tadpole sail trike. The first started out as a sail quad, but soon was adapted to a trike.

2015/16 I pedalled and sailed from Norwich down to Harwich, caught the ferry and crossed Holland on mine from Europort Rotterdam to Nejmegan and back again. I do maybe 750km on each trike before selling them on, with any left over proceeds after intial build costs going to a local charity

My 2017 Tadpole sail trike will feature a Sturmey Archer 8 speed IGH C/w with 70mm drum brake to match the front SA hubs with 70mm drum brakes I have used for the previous 3 years.

This time I am actually going to get around to photo blogging this trike build, and it may be followed here:
