I think it's a case of "Horses for > Courses". Used in the appropriate conditions it is the perfect boat. I regularly paddle a lightweight boat. It's 19'6" and under 28 pounds. At some point it's going to break. I accept that. To keep it going as long as possible I try to avoid any conditions (collision or large breaking waves) that will do it in. At some point I won't be successful and it's going to break and probably sink. Until then it's a pleasure to paddle and carry it. kirk *************************************************************************** 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 12 2000 - 11:34:12 PDT
