I do not have skinny legs, In fact the adjective "skinny" has been conspicuously missing from descriptions of me for the past 25 years. OK, I'm a bit more than portly at 6'1" and 240#. But there's no reason why those "built for the British butt" thigh braces on the Romany & Explorer couldn't be changed to accommodate those of us that love the rest of the boat. The Explorer HV is a ridiculous response to putting a larger paddler into the Explorer. There was no need to raise the coaming at the back and sides of the cockpit. The problem is the da** thigh braces not the coaming! And don't even get me started talking about how inappropriate it is to have breasts on a boat. Are the drugs in England that much better than stateside? Or was there some long lost superstrain of Peyote on Easter Island?
