Now come on people, "water stable" kayaks were originally an arctic tradition for many years. The Northern Labrador Kayak was 25' long and 23" wide, with a flat stable bottom, and as S.K. Hutton wrote, "They were never rolled by their occupants, and in the event of a capsize the paddler would need assistance from a companion in order to get back into the boat." :-) BC'in Ya Doug Lloyd *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Oct 05 2000 - 21:43:15 PDT
