Hi Peter
             A speed of 20kph for any sort of human powered boat
would be only possible for an elite athlete in a sprint.
Have a look at the boat design forum 
http://www.boatdesign.net/forums/boat-design/pedal-powered-boats-23345.html
this is the link for pedal powered boats and will give you a good
idea of what is out there. In Australia pedal boats are like hens
teeth, the commercial ones available are no where near the speed
you mentioned.
