It is generally agreed that GPs don't have the ability to accelerate of a euro, but almost no GP users seem to think there is any difference once you are up to speed. What is it about GPs that when the force is applied to get the boat moving there is a noticeable difference, but when the force is applied to keep the boat moving there appears to be no difference? What changes between the time you first start and the time you are up to speed? Something must change to account for the difference in relative response to applied effort. -- Nick Schade Guillemot Kayaks 824 Thompson St Glastonbury, CT 06033 (860) 659-8847 *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
