: Got to paddle an Olympic K1 about 1970
: vintage, stability level 4. I really want one :) Absolute blast to paddle,
: seriously fast for a 17 foot boat.

: I might have a chance later on this fall to get the boat to take lines off,
: if so I'll make a stripper out of it :)

Hi Bill,

I've got a Struer Tracer dating from the early 70's that you are welcome to
use for offsets. I bought it from a guy in 1976 just after he competed
in the Olympic trials. Stability is actually quite good for this class of
boat.
