Boat Forum / Paddle Boats / May 2007

Got a triathlon john.
Feather light and nice and stretchy.... but at the cost of
durability.
Got one seam rip and a few rub spots.

I have a Dagger Cypress (13', no rudder).  Does anyone know if this
would be suitable for sea kayaking?  I'm a beginner if it doesn't show.

My paddle is sticking and is hard to get apart it has a fiberglass
shaft any suggestions on how to fix this problem.

I've noticed the past couple years whenever I look in on the Survivor
tv show that whenever they're in a boat/canoe they are using high-end
nice wood'n'carbon paddles. Bent shaft. And they're ALWAYS using them
backwards. Uniformly. I'm thinking that some staffer is telling them

Judging by the down-to-earth way he went around preaching, Jesus would
have paddled a kayak or canoe in order to meet the ordinary people. Of

stories of him aboard a paddle boat.

I just got a discovery canoe last night and on the bow in the middle seam
it looks to have some kind of hole or damage.
it looks like the canoe was just beached in a rocky beach and damaged
occurred.  should I be worried?

Hi... I'm interested in the "This is the Sea" sea-kayak "culture"
series. There are 3 dvds out now. How do they compare? I've seen #3

I want to buy a two-person inflatable kayak and was keen on the
Sevylor Colorado or Stearns Back Country which are about the same
price, but I've just found a Sea-Doo IK at Costco which is much
cheaper and includes paddles. It's not mentioned anywhere on the

Is it possible to canoe through the Paw paw tunnel on the C & O
Canal?  If so, where is a good place to access the canal,
preferably on the south side of the side of the tunnel?
Also, does Maryland have registration requirements for canoes?

Just wondering if anyone has any info on paddling on lakes or calm
water in Tasmania. My wife and I are quite new to kayaking and are
thinking of going to Tassie maybe later in the year.We have a Old Town
Loon 111 and a Perception Arcadia 370, so are really not sea kayaks.

Is this possible... wise...?

Does anyone know what type of resin/hardener is in the Old Town Discovery
Kit.
I have most of the stuff already, including the fibreglass sheet so I only
need the resin which I am hoping to buy separately.

Can I tell by my serial number/registration number when this used RPM
was made?

I'm thinking about getting a new tandem boat, primarily for playing in
easy whitewater (II-III).  My wife and I currently (and will continue)
to paddle our old XL-13's solo, and we have an ancient Blue Hole 17A.
We want something smaller and more responsive, that would be more fun
