I just bought Schade's book on strip built kayaks for the purpose of learning more about construction. While it is very satisfactory on that score, I was also delightfully surprised to read his analysis of kayak hydrodynamics and related topics. It is not ultra technical and would enhance any paddler's understanding of the kayak. I particularly recommend it to beginners who may feel overwhelmed by the variety of terminology in design, etc. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
