Shatterglassers, It is funny how in the world of skin boats (baidarkas and greenlanders), flex is praised for increasing speed and seaworthiness, but when it comes to flex in a plastic boat, the shatterglassers complain about it reducing performance. I've built a greenlander skin boat, and the amount of flex (bow to stern) is about the same in it as with my plastic kayaks. What do the shatterglassers have to say about that?
