early on i paddled a Nordkapp with a skeg. fine heavy boat.

do i need heavy?

i wondered why a fine boat needed a skeg. then i read the literature and
found that there were numerous Nordkapp designs.

then i wondered why a fine boat need so many designs.

in the end, i found that another hull design suited my needs so i didn't
need to buy into the Nordkapp myth.

Nordkapp's are fine boats, just 'there's no explaining taste in food and
fashion'

bye bye bliven
