: Not to start a flame war, but... Why do you think women can't paddle? My
: former wife and at least 7 of our female friends are all GREAT paddlers. A
: properly done stroke doesn't require much upper body strength, so the male
: advantage there isn't much of an advantage (actually many men have poor
: strokes because they don't do a proper torso rotation due to using of
: their arm muscles). Besides women often have a lower center of gravity
: than men, so WE are the ones who'd probably need a more stable platform...

: Just some thoughts to consider.

Well said, Peter. Gender has nothing to do with paddling ability. Or boat building ability.
