Some design basepoints might be taken from the catarafts (?). First, what are the constraints with respect to: Transportability: Length and width and weight of largest bundle. Total weight, assuming only 2 (?) boats. Minimum platform dimensions? Pounds of extra flotation (inflatable?) needed? etc. I really do think something which accomplishes this, in a low-tech way doable by anyone with access to ordinary sources, would be a terrific asset to the coastal paddling community in some places. e Elaine Harmon - eilidh_at_dc.seflin.org - eharmon_at_cs.miami.edu *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Oct 06 1999 - 18:19:11 PDT
