WB balancing.......
Posted: Thu Apr 21, 2005 9:07 am
Noticed today just how mid ships 'balanced' the WB is. Having placed a thermos flask of hot coffee for a session at the local playwave in the WB's bow, she really wanted to bow stall.
Amazing how little weight transferral from the boats midpoint axis massivley affects the balancing, fore and aft. Could be because I am 12 stone (in old money) and near the boat's weight limit?
As we know this delicate pivot point translates extremely well when going for ends/blunts etc. Never noticed this in other kayak conversions.
Once again, v.impressed.
