Well, I've been sick in bed all week with atrial fibrillation refractory to 
immediate drug control; while loafing about in bed, I've been thinking about 
baidarka plans for a bit of inspiration. I was wondering if anyone has 
experience with the differential between the reported fast speed of a 
planning baidarka hull and that of a more typical Greenland SOF. Also, does 
the fork bow of a baidarka disadvantage a paddler in heavy kelp, in terms of 
getting kelp stalks trapped during wave action?
