Have you got a good suggestion for keeping the water in one place? I know I wouldn't want any ballast shifting around. I've rolled a couple of baidarkas which have removable lead/steel Bballast. They definitely were easier to roll with the ballast in place, as the boats with ballast in place "wanted" to be upright. These boats have about a 17" beam and use the ballast to lower the center of gravity, not adjust trim. kirk *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Feb 13 1998 - 11:05:27 PST
