I wonder, though, if what is considered a design shortfall by some may be 
seen as an asset to someone else... i.e. Audrey Sutherland's inflatable.
Can you call her inflatable a design shortfall?  There's no question
she has the skill.  Seems she's found what she wants to paddle and in
some conditions, it requires a rudder.  

Just a thought....

Cheers,

Jackie
