I'm staying with heavy-duty and rigid, even if everyone on paddlewise
disagrees with me and all think light is better! As Voltaire said: "Every
man is the creature of the age in which he lives; very few are able to
raise themselves above the ideas of the time." Okay, so I have a hard time
raising my Nordkapp above my head onto the roof racks. Think of it as free
weight training.

hi Doug,

i could use more time weight training.

Kruger Canoes makes the Kruger Cruiser (Open) which weights 82 lbs; its been
used for some expeditions. It's a decked canoe.

anyone know how the deck and hull are joined on that boat?

bye bye bliven
