Mike
great site. some details i would like to talk to the author about but
it seems quite accurate.
i have a bsc. but not in naval archutecture ( or spelling ) i have been
around boat designers and builders up untill i came to canada a couple
of years ago.
one small detail about things the author thought , kayaks do plane,
well partially anyway. have you ever surfed? how about 10 knots next to
a much shorter white water boat. i will grant you when i surf it is
normally not that far and fast but i did 18 km in my capella and kept
it up for a good distance.
i try to surf when i can with a gps on deck, it is fun.
thank you michael.
