Wow! Good idea! (Why didn't *I* think of that?)

Thanks for the reply. I'll look up "sponsons" and see what they are.
Obviously, they wouldn't be for everybody. "One size fits all" only
works for a mass burial.

I didn't know they shifted the mast! We've just taken delivery of the
Hobie, so we haven't sailed her much. Actually, my wife has her hand
in a cast from corrective surgery for the next few weeks, so that's
crimping our paddling at the moment; you shouldn't get the cast wet.
