I was interested in seeing Joan's and Jed's comments on the difficulty of rolling a Gulfstream. I embarrassed myself this summer trying to roll a GS in front of a batch of paying customers. Anne covered me by smoothly going into a bow rescue demo, so I didn't look totally useless. OTOH, I test paddled a 2000 Gulfstream last spring and it rolled OK. The rep told me that the depth of the cockpit was one of the things CD changed in the GS's current design. Huh? That would be Current Design's Gulfstream's current design, I guess. Anyhow, I would agree with Jed and Kevin: practice your roll in the easier boat until it's effortless, then move it over to the harder boat. -- Steve Cramer *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
