[Paddlewise] speed of mixed groups

As i am using a soft shell foldable (Klepper Aerius 2) and colleagues use 


hardshell kayaks, i am interrested to get information about performance of 


such mixed groups. As i know the max. design speed is very different, but 


at cruising speed, at "non duck pond" conditions, gear loaded, single vs 


double etc. the different design concepts are much closer. So it´s very 


hard to estimate speed and the complex interaction a mixed group. Tha fact 


thatthe foldables act as a stable platform during recovery after capsize 


of a hardshell are already discussed in detail here (see FAQ)





So i have to count on your experience to get a good estmation for my trip 


planning for the circumnavigation of Elba next spring.





Best thanks for sharing
