I got it third hand from sprint canoeists and kayakers when I was researching boat designs for the Canadian team. So, I could have it wrong although I don't know why they would exaggerate. On the other hand I could have written it down wrong in my notes but I don't think so. Who am I to argue with a life long paddler as I am but a life long paddler and designer. :-) Cheers John Winters *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
