-----Original Message----- From: Doug Lloyd [SMTP:dougl_at_islandnet.com] >> As far as Kait, she told me back channel that she was hired to conduct a preliminary search (including groups like paddlewise) for information about the use of sponsons INCORPORATED INTO THE DESIGN OF CANOES AND KAYAKS, and that MANDATORY sponsons were not going to be an outcome. >> I got a similar message from her. I asked for permission to forward the text to Paddlewise, but she hasn't replied yet. I also pointed out that there are two kinds of sponsons -- internal and external -- and that it looked like her interest was in the former, whereas all the fuss on Paddlewise is about the latter.
