It makes the sliding seat effective. If you have the current issue of Sea Kayaker there is a review of a Mariner boat. The picture of the Elan on page 15 shows the typical Mariner keel/skeg. To big for the Elan? I am 6'4" and could fit in the Elan if I moved the seat band all the way back and the foot pegs all the way forward. It is great fun to surf. I would pop out of the low profile cockpit some times when rolling. *************************************************************************** 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 Tue Mar 02 1999 - 10:02:30 PST
