In Response To: Article on the baidarka... (Hank)

It's a good article. It doesn't really reach any conclusions about the performance of baidarkas, but it does a good job of outlining the controversial issues involved.

> The April 2000 issue of Scientific American has an article called

> I always found the flexible hull of the baidarka to be very interesting -
