Peter,  we at the E.S.A.D. Foundation prefer to use the most widely inclusive 
definition for ESAD'S.  (Translation - We would like to get support money 
from as many different people as possible).  Therefore I would have to say 
that Mr. Ingram's product is not the only available ESAD.  

I am quite intriqued by your comments on the Mariner Rescue Float.  I will 
have to write Mr.'s Broze (Matt and Cam) and see if they will be willing to 
return the check for my just purchased Elan and instead donate the kayak and 
float to the ESAD Foundation for its groundbreaking (should that be 
waterbreaking) research.

Since you are in the Southern Hemisphere might I suggest that you would 
probably benefit more from the D.A.S.E - Down-under Advanced Stability 
Enhancer rather than the E.S.A.D. commonly used in North America.

Sincerely 

Mark J. Arnold
President and Founder E.S.A.D Foundation
