My mind *is* open.  Julio DID NOT specify what kind of boats he meant:
he could have meant sprint kayaks, downriver racing boats, open-ocean
racing boats, slalom boats, are anything else.  By not specifying it,
however, he made a blanket statement covering all race boats, and
that statement is incorrect...which is why I made the comment that I did.

I made no such assumption.  (Why would I?  It would make no sense.)

Oh?  Please give the precise location where that's specified.  I just
retrieved the current copy of the list information (by sending the
command "info paddlewise" to majordomo_at_lists.intelenet.net) and I do
not see it mentioned there.
