In Response To: Re: Strip: Cut Away at Catch (Paul Davies)
Racing mentality justifies anything to pursue an advantage of speed/effort,perhaps?But does it really,any one actually know?I would be interested as I am just but a lazy paddler.
As I have said many times, there is no such thing as a fast kayak, only fast kayakers. Tweaking the width of your kayak at the catch will not make you go fast unless you are strong and fit enough to power the kayak to high speed.
Making the kayak narrower at the catch will make it more comfortable to paddle. While it is likely a minor thing, if you do enough minor things here and there, eventually you create major differences.
