Just wanted to say thanks to all who responded to the "George Roberts' Challenge" thread. Thanks for the information and ideas. I think that I will try some test panels using various methods and ideas to see what results are achieved.

If anyone else has any ideas on the subject or on test procedures please post them on this board or E-mail me. Like I said, I am not an engineer and could use the help.

As for George's challenge, as stated before, I am really not interested in winning or losing money. If I did take him up on it, and lucked out and won, I would prefer to sit down with him over a cup of coffee and discuss kayaks and kayaking, rather than cash his cheque. (I would however, insist he pay for the coffee!)

Once again thanks and I will post test procedures and results when done.

Ian Johnston
