In Response To: Re: Learing to Roll, want advice (Tom Tieman)

Tom--I had a flashback while out paddling yesterday. The boat you are in is the one your brother bought, isn't it. It's the one I paddled out on Warren Island?

For the rest of the world it appears to be one of the older tortured ply CLC designs, similar to the Yare, but not quite dimensionally the same.

Tom--I think I'd do some quick and dirty modifications to the boat. 1) cut down the seatback to be level with the coaming. 2) get a can of contact cement and some cheap foam and fit a bulkhead and knee and thigh pads. 3) beg, borrow or steal the meanest nylon sprayskirt you can find that will fit. (It does have a lip on the coaming, doesn't it?)

Will the pool be available in January?

Mike
