ooooh... Perhaps you should send it to Reverend Bob's Kayak Testing Facility, 
and see how it holds up against the rigors of normal paddling.  ;-)

=============

Wow! rather than sending that boat out for testing, send it to me.

by the way, when i use the phrase 'i wonder' it is not written in a negative
sense - rather to stimulate conversation.

if someone knows of a better phrase, please post it - then maybe  i'll will
use it.
by using 'i wonder'  folks posted about variable shaped hulls and lighter
than normal Nordkapps...

bye bye bliven
