Daft Beginner Questions!
"Ewan Scott" wrote in message ... 212 is a small boat. I'm 5"7 and 12 stone. I'd be uncomfortable in a 212. I manage in a 230 and a 232 but I think a long time in anything smaller would be a problem. Although I've known a six footer to manage in a 230 all day. OTOH I've seen a Coach get out of a small boat he has played in all day and be unable to walk from the pain in his ankles... Ah, but I have the problems the other way - I'm 5ft nothing tall and can't reach the footrests in most boats! not quite what I said :-) You can certainly run rivers in a small playboat, but you will be prone to flipping and doing inadvertent maneouvres. Sure is one way to learn though. My son has a Sub 6 but eschewed it for an Inazone for his 4 Star test. Well, yes, certainly one way to learn! I'm not adverse to falling in, but I'd like to keep it to a minimum since I can't roll yet! Saying about falling in though, apparently I'm doing my two star next week (yay for me - haven't done my one star yet) but out on the Marina where it's all wavy and crazy! Most of the club have either done it in the pool or on a lake but I've been told "I'll cope". Hmmmmm. Charlie. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
