Hey Spidey - Good to hear from you!

I'm in the same boat as you - but in my case, it is arthritis of the neck and spine that makes paddling difficult (getting old sucks!). Rowing is OK, but paddling is too awkward. So i've been snooping, and am thinking about converting the Ch 17' to a sailing trimaran (CLC apparently has plans for making outriggers and a mast). I don't know how to sail, but I don't know how to kayak, either. Ah hell, making the thing in the living room was most of the fun, anyway.

Take care,

John B.
