Another paddler that believes he won't capsize, doesn't need to prepare for such an event, doesn't know anything about self-rescue or cold water--a day dream believer! Get a boat--buy the dream! I went to a regional USCG and Boating Law Adm. meeting a few days back. It is increasingly clear that people buying boats today are told how stable they are-- but not that capsizing is a fundamental part of both kayaking AND canoeing on flat water or rapids! What kind of boat was this?
