In Response To: Re: Wide sterns (mike allen --->)

: myself in a minor way too, after seeing a seakayaker article some time ago
: about a guy in a real long kayak (19'?)going around the arctic somewhere
: but w/ a slanted cut off inset rear end doing something like this.

: there are always tradeoffs - too bad. like they don't go backward so well,
: and i wonder what happens in a following sea each time the wave catches
: up.

Yea that SeaKayaker article is one of the inspirations. Backing up scoops water up onto the back deck if you try to go fast, but I rarely try to back up all that fast anyway. Following seas performance is yet to be determined, but even with a normal stern, performance is best if you can keep ahead of the waves.
