In Response To: Faster boats? (Kudzu)

: Is it possible your boat is slower,
: I have loaned a lot of people GP's to try and after a few minutes
: to adjust to it, I have never seen anyone of them paddle any
: slower. So it may be just conditioning, they are just stronger
: than you. When I started I struggled to keep up with almost
: everyone.

Hi jeff , thanks for the reply,

based on your thoughts my boat being 17' long has more drag than the other boats , they were all 12' plastic REC boats. several of the paddlers were newbies and I did fine next to them. the more experienced group I was always a minuite behind all day!.

"John" BTW (are the plans ready for the firefly??)
