G'Day and thanks for all the ferry gliding posts, direct and back channel. I'm now comfortable with the idea that ferry gliding can be understood by vector addition of the velocity due to the current, the paddler and the wind. And that an edged kayak will tend to be affected by a component vector of the force due to paddling rather than the maximum force potentially available. Much appreciated peoples comments, All the best, PeterO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
