When you folks speak of rolling a Feathercraft are you saying in warm water one must leave the air out of the sponsons in order to roll. If so then you are saying if you accidentally turn over (in which case you have the sponsons inflated) then you can not roll it back up? *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

I've never missed a roll in my K-1 (Expedition) and always inflate the sponthings fully. Well, I did miss one roll, but it was because I had hooked my paddle blade under a deck line while setting up.

Sounds like a good candidate for Roll #31 at the Greenland Championships: roll up with one end of the paddle under a deck line. To the left and right, of course. -- Steve Cramer Athens, GA *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
