In Response To: Re: Design Water Line *LINK* (Capn Jimbo)

: Another author has pointed
: out that these predictions do not take into account the factors of
: momentum and/or the notion that kayaks are constantly decelerating and
: accelerating.

And indeed pitching, rolling and yawing. Paddle something with loose
tracking like an Anas Acuta and a lot of the time in waves will be spent
leaning the boat to course correct, or perhaps making correction strokes.
Thus two different paddlers with different styles will be getting totally
different amounts of drag as they have different hull profiles in the
water at any time.

The only solution is to build more boats and get out paddling them :-)
