Any opinions - or should I try the baidarka list? >> I've told you all I know on the subject, except that the polys are reputed to be veeeery tough and durable. I think people avoid them because they are not real easy to use and probably fairly nasty on the toxicity side. I'm sure others here and on the Baidarka site can help far more than I.
