hi Elmer, i paddled a folding canoe about 2 or 3 yrs ago at a boat demo on a small lake. compared to other kayaks and canoes that i've paddled, i concluded that the boat would be ok for me if i need such a boat to take on airplanes. for land based use, more traditional canoes seem to be better. i though that the rather high gunnels would catch too much wind and make paddling difficult. if you really don't need a folder, i recommend checking out other boats. unlike folding kayaks, i haven't seen any folding canoes offered for re-sale. it would be interesting to read the opinions of folks who own folding canoes. bye bye bliven *************************************************************************** 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/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Feb 10 2000 - 19:26:10 PST
