I still don't understand it. e I just realized, the good tracking is at cruising speed in open water, when the bow wave must help do that hull compression - the wee concavities between the stringer tubes (?) - whereas the turning was done at low speed in a mangrove channel, where the hull might take on a more chineless shape. Is that it? e Elaine Harmon - eilidh_at_dc.seflin.org - eharmon_at_cs.miami.edu *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sun Aug 29 1999 - 07:49:59 PDT
