Before responding to your request for feedback on sponsons I have a few questions of my own for you. What are the details of your “contract” with the U.S. Coast Guard? Who can I contact in the U.S. Coast Guard to verify this “contract” is legitimate. Who in the U.S. Coast Guard is responsible for commissioning this study? Why were you or your organization chosen to perform this study? Was there a competitive bid process involved? Prior to this project had you any knowledge of or contact with Tim Ingram or anyone else promoting “sponsons” for kayaks? Are you a paddler? If so what is your experience level and in which types of craft?
