Hi Jack, my paddling buddy has a P&H Sirius. She has been using a stern wheel dolly for walking down to the water from her house. So where does her overbuilt British boat get a boo-boo? Right at the deck/hull seam where the collapsible stern wheel dolly rests the boat is crushed in about 1/4", she doesn't know how it happened. That one surprised me. Last month I used the double in my Basic 1 class for a couple preparing for a guided trip in Alaska. In the T-rescue while turning that destroyer sized bow over my lap to get the water out I let it roll onto my the deck of my glass Mariner just past the coaming,,crack. Hmm, maybe 50lb single kayaks are a good light weight after all. Hey, maybe this means it's summer!
