Our very own PW History section -- amongst other comments -- contains an elaboration by Matt Broze, dating back to 2001, on the "Tyee I" mentioned in the video: http://www.paddlewise.net/topics/foldingkayak/history.html Ralph Hoehn Vermont / New Hampshire -----Original Message----- From: Rcgibbert_at_aol.com Subject: Re: [Paddlewise] Derek Hutchinson Interview Video He is such an aquired taste, I find it difficult to think about him without copious flags coming up. He has done great things for the sport and that will be a bill we will forever pay upon. Like one of those adjustable rate mortgages. Still, a good asset for the sport. One of the most comical parts of the interview was when he says he invented hatches and bulkheads and Matt says maybe in England he did, but in the USA Link Hales did in the 50's. Derek feigns surprise, digs in about what boats, more surprise tossed in for good measure. All of that was done by letter to the editor in Sea Kayaker magazine a few years ago. He knows perfectly well, but chooses to believe otherwise. And then there was that bit about the asymetrical paddles and feathering.
