leong Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) We at NSPN know how seaworthy sea kayaks can be. But my Florida yacht club neighbors are amazed that I often go paddling on days that are too rough and/or or windy for their stinkpots. They’ve asked me, "How could my skinny seakayak be seaworthy?" I gave a presentation explaining why sea kayaks are seaworthy. Obviously, I covered self and assisted rescues and all the other basic safety skills. Also, I including the following statement from the April 2001 issue of Yachting Magazine (it may be of interest to you): A well-designed sea kayak paddled by a competent, prudent individual may be the most seaworthy craft afloat.

Gcosloy Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I like that quote Leon. I always say pretty much the same thing when talking to my sailing friends but never knew it had the imprimature of Yachting Magazine. Thanks, we should have T shirts made up with the quote, preferably in polyester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
