are you sure you've been in a boat before, or is this one of those
"toll"
questions? ever tried lowering a sail on a capsized boat in rough
conditions? sailors do it.

Capsized sail boats that are dragging a sail in the water won't blow away
faster than a person can swim. Kayaks can and do.

Have you
ever tried this in 6 foot or higher breaking seas?

there's *nothing* I haven't tried in 6 foot or higher waves. what
millponds
do you paddle in? 6 foot waves are for children. we get wakes on the canal
higher than that.

Achoo!! Pardon me, I'm alergic to BS



that's what you get of buying a kayak with a tiny cockpit. why do some
kayak fanatics choose speed over comfort and safety? and then diss
sponsons? bloody irresponsible.

Bloody unknowing on your part. A small cockpit, scoops much less water than
a large one.

.. Better techniques can be found in any of the many books and videos
on the market for kayak re-entires and recoveries.

oh yeah, Hand of God. I love that one. Like God gives a **** about
kayakers.

No---but if you were unconscious, you'd certainly appreciate another kayaker
performing this rescue. It works


you should get a boat with a round bottom cross section. I don't know why
some kayakers go out in waves in long narrow hard chined boats, V-bottoms,
or those ridiculous hollow ends. nothing rides waves like round bottoms.

You have no idea what kind of hull shape my boat has, so how can you
possibly be making comments about it.


This whole conversation is becoming boring------plunk
