Didn't Verlen Kruger do something like this on his "Ultimate Challenge" down South America with his wife? His canoes were really heavily decked and I think they put crossbars in and set up a campsite on and between the boats. >Once I sketched out an idea for two kayaks to join together in tandem with >cross bars. A fabric stretched across would form a platform for cooking and >sleeping. Then one could anchor in shallow, protected coves without having >to go ashore on fragile islands or areas where camping is not allowed. Of >course, quite a bit more engineering is needed to make the rig lightweight, >strong, and practical. >I believe Herreshoff cruised in a small catamaran as a lad. Anyone ever >hear of such an arrangement for kayaks? *************************************************************************** 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 - 20:02:59 PDT
