The posted level was 800 CFS. I would say that it was probably correct.
This past weekend the posted level was 900, but calculating the downstream inflows before the guage led us to believe the actual was nearer 1000 CFS. The holes were much wider.

20/20 At Zoar Gap On The Deerfield
Last weekend friends paddled the Deerfield river and produced this short video of us running Zoar Gap at the end. The video features two Millbrook boats first the Red/Black themed Shacho and then the Gray 20/20. At the end is myself in a blue and white Storm Chaser. https://vimeo.com/274292801" oncl...

Re: New Air Bags
Thanks for all the input. One bag is in and I'm working on the lacing cage for the second. New question or observation. I've only had one other open canoe that I sold ten years ago and stopped paddling almost 17 years ago about the time of the first Hudson Armada. I've paddled decked boats exclusive...

Re: New Air Bags
Thanks for reply.
Do you have a picture of a ball inflater or can you describe it in more detail? Or are you talking about the little needle that you use to inflate footballs etc...?

New Air Bags
I ordered and received two new nylon bags from Mohawk Canoes and haven't put them in the canoe yet but I note that there is no tube and roberts valve just a fast fill port for an electric pump. So how do I adjust the air pressure when I'm on a multi day trip or even between cloud and sunshine? Is th...

Re: C1 to OC1 or not
Paul, I have raised the saddle, and that has helped but I can see there is a limit of diminishing returns. The higher you raise the saddle the less likely your thigh straps will hold you in the boat longer than one or two roll attempts. I think there is a video of me rolling your Viper at the play w...

Re: C1 to OC1 or not
Thanks guys for your perspective. I can say that kboating is not an option, my back would not take it, C1 is therapy. I will stick with the C1's as it just doesn't make sense to make a huge investment in glass open boats, because no one boat is going to be satisfactory on every river I paddle. What ...

C1 to OC1 or not
I've been paddling C1's exclusively for 16 years and still enjoy the ride. As I get older it becomes evident that I will have to consider transitioning to something that is easier on my knees, or is that a misconception? I ask because I spent a day in a boat I really like, a Shacho, and yes it allow...

Re: East Coast Armada
Well its been a month since the last post. I will be down in McHenry to start on Friday visiting fellow C1er Walt. Hoping the forecasted rain brings the regions rivers back up to Aprils bounty. Is there any schedule for the squirt worlds, time of day for events etc..? I didn't see anything on Angst ...

Re: Boat of the Week - Dagger Atom
I would say that 170 to 200 lbs is the sweet spot for this boat. I think if you are tall you have more leverage to make those stern pivots at a lighter weight. I have to say that when I started paddling the Atom I was in the upper 160's in weight but I'm 6'4 in height and did swim alot. When I start...

Re: East Coast Armada
I think I could make arrangements to be there.
There's a new place in Accident MD that would be great to have an informal gathering. I'll have to google for it but Moon is part of the name. It is about 20 minutes from the Upper Yough put in.

Re: Full cut Acrobat?
Wildwater2 I would agree with Adam, the Viper is a great cruiser and if you want something less demanding a modern slalom boat by Vajda or Galasport can be a great all around river runner. Low volume boats require you to work the run and don't know that the marginal increase in volume of a full cut ...

Re: Curved blade versus flat blade
I feel and hear a high frequency flutter or rip under water when transitioning quickly from my offside back to onside. Has anyone else noticed this? Yes, when new this is common, but it went away and I have not experienced it in recent memory. My Mitchell is 13 years old, so maybe like a plaster tr...
