I just read in Derek Hutchinsons book "Expedition Kayaking" on page35 under the
category that he calls maneuvers a launch method called a "Side Drop".  I am not
confident that my North American made kevlar boat would survive such a launch.
Maybe it can only be done in Bristih boat?
Has anyone ever tried such a launch?

    Power your boat with carbohydrates,
    not hydrocarbons.
