--Rentry and roll. A neat idea but froth with problems in getting the skirt back on. Ideally you should do it while still immersed in the water but who among us has gills? ------------ A question I've had for some time is how tight/loose should a spray skirt binding be? My guess is that the better your roll, the tighter you'd want the binding to be to ensure you don't fall out during a dump. The 'less good' your roll, if any, the looser the spray skirt should probably be? ------------ Why in the world do people get themselves into boats that need all that? You're probably guessing that this is leading to a sermon on folding kayaks. It is not. My thought is--Why not use sit-on-tops? ------------- My first thought was Sales & Marketing but I like Joe Pylka's answers too. I've always associated SOTs with warmer climes. I would also guess that without hip and knee support you (not the boat) would be less stable. ------------- *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Feb 24 1999 - 05:05:33 PST
