In Response To: Re: Joe's getting famous. (Don Beale)

I'm glad that they post the pictures of the final results of many talented people in the one of a kind section, but I'm talking about all out articles about the professional builders. Perhaps showing how they have their shop set up, how they build their kayaks (non-proprietary techniques), and how their kayaks perform. These magazines have entire reviews of fiberglass and plastic kayaks which include the dimensions of the kayaks, Speed vs. Resistance, Hydrostatics, Righting/Heeling Moment Stability curves, and test reviews by several different sized people. I would like to see some of the wooden kayaks get reviews like this once in a while.

Maybe I should send my thoughts to the kayak magazines.
