I notice that Fyne Boat Kits now offer twin outriggers for those paddlers with sailing aspirations. Has any member built/bought one?
Has anyone used a Handirack? It is an inflatable roof rack. The May edition will have pieces about portage devices (wheels, skids, muscular maidens etc.). Do send in a contribution.
Here (on the right) is an ad for a downwind sail that came in the post. Does anybody have any experience of these to share??
We went to the NEC's Boat and Caravan show in February. There was a lovely canoe village with two pools for canoe testing and some electric fans to blow a tiny dinghy about. Sit-on kayaks had a greater presence than previously, as well as canoes and kayaks adapted for fishing. I got a spring loaded fabric bucket for £1. Virus Boats were there with removable single and double outriggers.
