Interesting that the floor width is almost exactly the same as the supers cockpit. Hummm. Back to the drawing board. You are right of course. At $49, one could do a lot worse for more$, by starting from scratch. Besides, all my practice material is red, white and blue(old hang glider), nice for a sail, not so nice for a shelder. I can see it one day....folding water campers!! thanks, James *************************************************************************** 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 Fri Dec 03 1999 - 14:40:01 PST
