I'm now being accused of having bungs in the bottom (!!??), however I was 
looking a  DRR last week and there was a neat threaded hole in the side 
which went to a plastic pipe. The hole was supposed to be below the water 
line though the owner admitted he actually had to lean the kayak a little 
to get it under.

Drinking water = weight.

So, paddling (racing) in a river or lake why not drink it? Remember this is 
(supposed to be) a clean green country.
