Not! Where did you get this information? Are you sure this isn't six
kilometers per hour? If you had said Greg Barton and were talking about a
narrow surf ski or Olympic Flatwater kayak on reasonably calm water I might
have believed it. I'll bet Chris can't sprint a Romany Explorer faster than
six knots for even fifty yards.
