This annual event was held last weekend at the Birmingham NEC here in the UK. A group of friends and I decided to visit, especially to look at Lendal's promised new Carbon pre-preg blades and their revolutionary 'touring wings' - a wing blade apparently suitable for general use... But they weren't there!!! We have to wait for another month or two... still I managed to have a good look at both a Nordcap and a P&H Sirius and the Romany Explorer, not really too much else there for the sea kayaker... Most of the people looking around the sea boats seemed to be very old! Everyone else were at the opposite end of the age range - accompanied by their parents. As an experiment I took along a video camera and you can see the results of my effort on www.fachwen.org/video. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Did you manage to see the new P&H Quest, which is a little longer and a little wider than the Sirius? If so, thoughts..... -- cheers, Stephen *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

I'm afraid not, though I have talked to Dave Evans of Cwm Pennant Centre who had a prototype to play with - with feed back from him, and others, modifications have been made, or so they told me at the stand, to the commercial version. Dave thought there wasn't enough skeg to stop it pointing into wind - when it was windy of course! > From: Stephen Bird <stephen.bird_at_superaje.com> > Subject: Re: [Paddlewise] Birmingham Canoe Exhibition > > On Sun, 04 Mar 2001 14:00:46 +0000, Keith wrote: > >> We have to wait for another month or two... still I managed to have a >> good look at both a Nordcap and a P&H Sirius and the Romany Explorer, >> not really too much else there for the sea kayaker... > > Did you manage to see the new P&H Quest, which is a little longer and a > little wider than the Sirius?
