Marian: I don't like PDF from an ergonomical point of view but that should give the
best results
when printed. Note that one needs (costly) Adobe Acrobat to create PDF files.
CAD file formats are a bit overkill, are they? Also, there might not be many people
with access to
software that can read those file formats.
> Ralph: What does your recent experience with the Moell on the water show, Marian?
Marian: As I've mentioned in an earlier posting: it really *is* weathercocking, up to
a big degree
(Volker, who's also on this list and who paddled with me in 5-6 Beauforts over larger
lakes can tell
... :-).
Two other Moell owners both use sucessfully skegs on their boats when on open water.
If anyone is
interested, I'll try to describe two or more approaches of putting a retractable skeg
to a folding
kayak.
