Phil, Well I guess that depends weather you're planning to tow him or air lift him :-) Ed, Atlanta Kayakers' Webmiester The Atlanta Kayakers Website address is : http://atlkayakers.home.mindspring.com/kayak Phil Wrote: I'm not an engineer (nor do I play one on TV), but do you think that's strong enough? Given that a paddler alone may weigh 150lbs or more, plus the weight of the boat and gear, could bring you to the working load of 300lbs. before you even deal with a dynamic load (boats on either side of a long swell, the jerk on the line as the towing boat comes up to speed and begins to haul the towee) etc. 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/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Mar 29 2000 - 11:00:15 PST
