G'Day, SQRT would be "square root" good Luck with the formula Rainer. Ken, That was a very interesting post. Can you give some more detail about the method for deriving your formulae - did you select paddlers you knew to be good and measure their parameters - did you select paddlers that were having difficulties? Any feel for why the boat width and shoulder parameters were a square root and the spine height a square function?
