Good for you, Jed. You said what I would have like to have said, but I didn't know how to do it without being critical. Different strokes indeed! How in the world can anyone make using a rudder, or not, seem like a moral issue? Yet we do it so well. Thanks for a sensible contribution. The point of the sport, I think, is, as you said in your last line - Have Fun! Jim Tibensky Jed said: In closing, I agree. It would be great if everyone could learn to handle a boat without a skeg or rudder. But in the final analysis each paddler will use what they think is required. I enjoy the discussion even though I know it will never be resolved. Use what you want and let the folks that want to disccuss the finer points do so knowing that their issues have little effect on the great majority of average paddlers. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
