Re: [Paddlewise] Feathercraft Air Line

This the reply I got from Feathercraft ref who their target market is.  I 
also asked how the Java would fare if I were to paddle with Pat Moss in her 
Lady Kahuna.

""So far as who will buy the Java?  People who live in warm areas that want 
to travel with a kayak, folks heading to warm destinations who want a smaller 
package/lighter package to travel with, our dealer in NYC tells us that lots 
of people get started
paddling there in sit on tops because they are "less threatening" then a
sit inside kayak, so there is probably a market there for folks who like the
idea of a sit on top. 

So far as keeping up with a Kahuna, should be close-
the dimensions and our feel from paddling it suggest that it should keep up,
it's long then the Kahuna and a bit wider, so it should even out.
 
    Thanks,
