Keels tend to help with tracking and not so much stability. Keels also tend to drag on rocks :) This solo thing is a catchy thing that happens to infect paddlers (some older ones like me too). Age is just a state of mind I see we hail from the same era. Canoe partner........ Where are you from now? canvas? I don't know, but someone around here will know. Viet Nam era huh? That was a tough era. I served in the Coast Guard 1966-1970. I dodged a bullet. Some of my friends were not so lucky. Good luck with that restoration. Seems the boat means something to you and you should get her restored and on the water. |

I was a heavy equipment operator in the U.S Navy Seebees. I spent 13 months in Viet Nam. The 1967 Kayaks canvas is tearing all apart, so that is why I need the canvas. You can't buy anything like it around here. I am 63 years old and retired. I just can't imagine not going canoeing as often as I want. I have considered solo but I have read articles of men getting in real trouble alone. |
