In Response To: the School of Hard Knocks. (Rob Macks)

: The reason for the width difference is because in a C1 (Closed solo canoe)
: you kneel on the bottom with your butt on a foam pillar. This means your
: ass is about 3 to 5 inches off the hull bottom depending how limber your
: joints are.

Which I meant to say will cause the need for a wider boat, just as open canoes are wider than kayaks because the center of gravity is much higher.
