: Thanks guys,

: never thought of lighter weight boats only being faster for
: accelerations. Of course the rest of the story is that it is
: being built for a race down the Charles river in Boston with 6
: portages. If you really want to feel left out, read the rules. A
: "sea kayak" must have bulkheads and weight at least 40
: lbs. Anyone seen a SOF fit those criteria???

Sounds like I'd not call it a sea kayak, I'd call it a racing kayak which doesn't need bulkheads nor hatches.

Btw, not all that difficult to put in bulkheads and hatches, I've got one.
