Re: [Paddlewise] Trip report: Wales, Lands End and the Scilly Isles (Long)

Thanks for the complement Duane.  I had a blast.  Nigel Dennis manufactures
the Romany Explorer.  All on the trip paddled Explorers except for one
Greenlander Pro, which he also makes.

When seeing what these boats went through, one appreciates the "British
Heavy" so much more.  They were lowered down the side of the ship by the
deck lines fully loaded with all food, rations, water and camping gear; they
were lashed together in a pile... they slammed into rocks... they took a
beating.  

The Explorer handled well in the big water and high winds.  It is not only a
tough boat, but a good rough water boat.

NDK is now manufacturing three weights for the "American market."  I.e., for
those how don't need or want the typical heavy construction.
