Hi Tim and all,

Tim asked, "Have you ever tried to roll a double Klepper?  I've never seen a
Klepper
double, so maybe this is a stupid question, but why is it un-rollable?"

The one time I had the pleasure of paddling a Klepper double was very brief.
It was a very old model (something like 30 to 40 years old). That model has
a big open cockpit.  I tried to roll it, but couldn't because I couldn't get
the paddle anywhere near the surface of the water.  The cockpit rim is very
high from the water.  Setting up before capsizing should have told me that
it was a futile effort to begin with.

Can anyone on this list roll a double Klepper?  I certainly be interested in
hearing how.

Cheers,
Dave
