Shawn: I among others was fortunate to paddle the Steve Maynard special that Bryan Lewis brought to the Vermont Madness meet in Burlington this spring. It is where I got the idea of a soft deck for my recent S&G/skillsaw adventures. The kayak that Steve built was done to Duncan Winning's drawing lengthened just a tad to fit him. It was like an Anas without the bad habits. It was fast, and it tracked well. I also got my first hand roll in it. A sweet boat in deed. You have seen the family tree that Ken Taylor has layed out depicting the early sequence of the evolution of the Igdlorssuit kayak???? michael *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
