    What's changed for better or worse over your canoeing lifetime?

    Clothing progressed. Pfd comfort progressed. Boat shapes seem to go in a to me wrong route. Most interetations of the same boat get more stable. I wish stability kept the same , and boats get faster or easier to manouvre or both. Finding good paddles seems getting more difficult. At least in...

    Thoughts on the Dragonfly 15

    I'd get a lighter version of whatever than I now have, but it has to be rock resistant. Finding the balance between weight and strong, is always difficult. The older we get, the weight will be more of a problem and we need to find waters that are less challenging.
