We had a discussion on Paddlewise here a while back about loading a boat slightly heavier in one end or the other to help control in fore or aft seas, but I wasn't paying a lot of attention and can't find it, now. Just thinking about it, I would think that you would want to be loaded slightly heavier than normal toward the forward end if you anticipate heading into wind or waves, and slightly heavier aft if you anticipate following winds or seas. Did I get that right, or have I got it backwards? -- Wes *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Sep 02 1999 - 01:11:59 PDT
