In Response To: Re: Other: transport position for kayak (Dale Frolander)

: That picture makes it obvious why kayaks are faster than canoes.

That's not entirely fair :-) The Canoe carries four people and gear, of
whom two are not paddling, down rivers with the current. The kayak carries
one person, with gear, and would not survive very far down a river. They
are built for very different jobs.

Of course, its true that a canoe like that is slower than a kayak when
carried on top of a car in a crosswind :-)
