After several years of renting, I purchased a tandem [Necky Amaruk] a couple of weeks ago. I figure either my wife or my daughter will accompany me most of the time. However, I anticipate that I'll be more fanatical than they. So, on those days when I'm alone, are there recommendations re weight distribution? Is it much of an issue? Should I place dead weight on the forward cockpit? Should I place dead weight near the bow? Any good ideas re dead weight; I'm thinking of bottled water in a mesh bag. Paddling a tandem solo is generally a bad idea, as it can become completely uncontrollable in any significant wind and waves, due to poor weight distribution. |
