hi all;
i'm trying to decide on my next boat and am a little confused. nick says that the displacement of the guillemot is 215 lbs. lets say the boat weighs 40, i'm 190 does this mean that paddling naked i'm allready over-loading the optimum capacity of the boat? i must be misunderstanding this!
also what is the displacement of the guillemot-L? how do these two boats compare?
t.i.a.
