My guess would be a Feathercraft K-1 or a Klepper Aerius I. Maybe the former as it is from Canada which is kinda British especially the province of Vancouver. But on second thought one of those might not work out for Doug as he would wind up paddling in all his rough water haunts in a kayak that would see him through without much in the way of hairy tales to tell. He would be bored not fighting for survival. Yeah, he better stick to the Nordkapps as they make for better stories. :-) BTW, lest one doubt the pedigree I mention, Klepper Aerius I's were reportedly the first single kayaks to make a _winter_ circumnavigation of Cape Horn (1984-Arved Fuchs and Rainer Neuber); so they would not be out of their element. ralph -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
