G'Day Craig,

Completely agree and of course would add John Winters as well. Don't know if
they have the time or patience for this sort of question these days, though
I know Matt still responds to Paddlewise occasionally.

The post didn't make it into the Paddlewise summary, which I think is what
Matt and John read so I may send them a post back channel. BTW as luck would
have it the Pittarak is a very old design with a rounded hull and skeg and
turns out of a broach back into surfing mode just beautifully, which may
have something to do with the characteristic I described.

All the best, PeterO<<<<<<<<<<<





I get the digest. It used to be it came in the serial order of the time and
date the posts were sent but for several years now the posts in it have been
seriously out of order and sometimes the original post don't appear until
after a discussion of them in a previous digest. This is very confusing
sometimes.



Peter is also correct that his original post has not yet appeared in the
digest at all so I have only a little idea of what the actual question was
(other than the post's title from the above). I'm back from vacation so I
might try to take a shot at it if I knew what the question was.
