Is anybody familiar with the Kelty Noah 9 or 12 wing tarps. I'm thinking of purchasing one and would like any opinions first.

Our paddling club has one and we use it for gatherings in hot weather. There's nothing like it. It makes unbearable days bearable, especially if there's a nice breeze going. It takes a couple of people to set up, but I recommend it. Marsanne > Is anybody familiar with the Kelty Noah 9 or 12 wing tarps.

Sorry if this is a double post...appears to have not gone out the first time... This isn't exactly the same thing but thought you might be interested in this one too - it is a 17 x 17 rainfly/tarp (no poles included) - $60. As usual, no association with anyone involved in this product.... http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cb/cb.asp?a=79425 Keith At 06:39 PM 5/11/03 -0500, you wrote: >Our paddling club has one and we use it for gatherings in hot weather. >There's nothing like it.

I own a 9, and like it for ease of setup, and no poles underneath. It is not so good in strong wind and rain, because the "aerodynamic" shape allows rain to swoop under the edges, unlike what happens in a conventional rectangular tarp. Even if you anchor the windward corner close to the ground, because the tarp is set _corner_ to the wind/rain instead of _edge_ to the wind/rain, you get less protection than with a same-size rectangular beast. But, as a sun shelter, and for light rain, it is great. Also like the light grey color, because it transmits a lot of light. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Yours was the deciding opinion. Since rain is not a big factor in Southern CA but sun protection is---I think I found what I need and your opinion confirms it.

Thanks to all the advice from folks on Paddlewise, the refurbishment of my 10 year old ocean cockpit Pintail is coming along nicely. So far I've filled the few deep gel coat scratches, replaced the foot braces with a block of angled minicel fitted against the forward bulkhead, and replaced all the deck lines and bungies. I had it out this weekend and everything fit well --- except the coaming behind the seat. When I try to lay back on the rear deck, the sharp edge of the coaming cuts into my back (the coaming is not recessed into the deck). I tried to pad the area with closed cell foam, but that doesn't really help much --- It compresses too easily. I'm considering grinding away the hard 90 degree edge of the coaming (at the back of the cockpit) and then fiberglassing over the area to create more of a 45 degree bevel. Any other (lest drastic) ideas would be appreciated. Also, I'm considering replacing the stock seat with one made from minicell. When I do this, I'd like to lower the seat a bit as well but this would make laybacks even harder given the current state of the coaming.
