"I like your list -- but would like to see Laurie Ford's name added to
it,just for the pure joy of iconoclasm and alternate, if strongly
held,viewpoints. Would be interesting reading."

Funny you should bring Laurie in at this point, his website records that
Derek Hutchinson's work is still the best all round handbook he has read.
(Couldn't resist that).
I support the idea that Matt Broze would be a great author of a general sea
kayaking book, just going by the manuals on the Mariner website, and "Deep
Trouble". That book would probably contain material that some would disagree
with. But then, you don't read a bible literally or uncritically.
I'm personally grateful that Derek Hutchinson never mentioned a prismatic
coefficient or Froude.
