At the risk of getting too technical, can we list 5-10 key
factors
effecting kayak speed? Then, can we go the next step, and ask,
roughly,
which of these factors have the greatest impact on speed
(perhaps a
rule-of-thumb weighted ranking)?

I asked him that. He snipped out the question.



I'm new to this, and thus far, the discussion has been
interesting.

The speed thing has been discussed but nobody has ever explained
it very well...
The web sites I posted seemed ok, but they don't specifically
talk about kayaks. Never paddled one, but I can't imagine that
their design in the hull is that dis-similar from other boats.
