Thanks for the trial report, Mike!

Saw some pics on WomenCan on FB as well. Chines are a feature on some of the newer Plastex carbon models and they do help with tracking/steer-ability of the boat. This is a trade off with rocker as in it seems the model with more rocker tracks less well but gets up 'out of the hole' from a standing start faster and is aimed at shorter races. It does steer quite well through leaning the boat though.

I'd like to make one soon sometime. I'm inspired!

Good luck to you daughter in her canoeing. Hopes she stays hooked on it.
