> I'm not out to create a sailboat, I already have one of those. I remember coming into Fair Harbour last year with 20 knots of wind at my back and having to work to catch a couple in a double who had quite cunningly erected their tent fly in the form of a spinnaker. The guy in the back was relaxing drinking a beer. I thought at the time that I was missing out on something. Where you could really beat them, is upwind tacking. But again, they could paddle straight and beat you anyway :-)... *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
