>> I often wonder how a Folbot would do for playing kayak polo against plastic and fiberglass boats. While Folbots don't turn that well and so would lack in agility, they would make a mash of any hardshell they hit with their killer ramming ends. I can see a Folbot on a kayak polo team acting like those legendary enforcers that the Boston Celtics use to employ to break arms and legs of opposing team stars. ralph diaz >> Last night I was reading Samuel Eliot Morrison's _The Two Ocean War_, where he describes two battles in which an American destroyer rammed a U-boat only to slide up onto the latter's deck without sinking it. The ensuing battles were fought with knives, coffee mugs, and fists, along with the more usual weapons of war. I doubt that a Folbot would do any more damage to a hardshell (at least, a British one) than those destroyers did to the U-boats.
