Re: [Paddlewise] sea kayak survey

Keith,
I really like your effort here! Thank you. 

My wish list, considering that I not the one coding the HTML, is to
include length, width, and list general purpose of design (e.g. touring,
ocean play, surf, expedition, day trips, etc...). Also, I would love to
see an increase in the comment length. 45 chars does not really do any
boat justice. HTML tables can have a fixed width, but wrap text within a
cell to acommodate more text. I could provide a little expertise with HTML
if needed. Cheers,
Kevin
