Has anyone seen the Feathercraft Jetstream inflatable in real life? It
looks interesting if a little expensive. I does seem it would fit quite
nicely in the trunk of my Honda del Sol allowing 10mph faster legal speed
here in California on the way to the launch. Nice looking in the pics
should be fairly quick if dimensions mean anything. Interesting idea the
way the way they mention adjusting the handling by changing the length of
keel strip and thus changing the boat's rocker.

By the way it was a simply _gorgeous_ day on Monterey Bay today. Went on
a whale spotting cruise and we saw a bunch of blues fairly near the
shore, i.e. just a few miles out from Moss Landing.

Fairwinds and happy bytes,

Do you mean that your top legal speed in California drops 10 mph if you have a
kayak on top of your car???  I've never heard of such a thing.

Wow, I had no idea.
