When drafting on the water, is it not better to be close to but off to the side so your boat is on the forward face of the other boat's bow wave? That position is preferred (depending upon wind conditions) when sailing and allows a smaller boat to stay with a larger one --particularly beating if you can get a safe leeward postion. bob phillips *************************************************************************** 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 Fri Feb 18 2000 - 14:19:43 PST
