    Canoe basic course on the river "Thur" (Switzerland)

    On the second day, we put this into practice on the river "Thur" , which flows by the campsite. . . . . In addition to the "rope ferry" maneuvers (crossing the river), we practiced entering and exiting Eddis all day long. That was quite strenuous for me with the Wilma, but the course...

    Detachable Yoke for Swift Carbon Gunnels

    O.K. I didn't mean to offend you. I didn't realize that there is also an ultra-lightweight fraction in the sport of canoeing, who do everything possible to remove material in every conceivable place in order to save weight. As someone who only has bombproof and heavy equipment, that sounded...

    Detachable Yoke for Swift Carbon Gunnels

    by the way - here there you can find a lot of screw bolts with knobs - which will be able to fix your problem. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=screw+bolts+with+knobs&language=en_US regards Michael if not - there will be an other option with a sufficient screw, a round piece of wood and some Epoxi. ;)

    Obvious safety violation: Say something or keep quiet?

    some times, yes. I am not a teacher ... I am not an instructor ... but if it feels dangerous to me that people are putting themselves in danger (for whatever reason) it is my duty to make them aware of it and possibly tell them what, how and why it is better this way or that.

    I finally learned something...

    I would say "good physio therapist" and good that you remembered what it said to you. Sometimes it just takes a little push from an outsider to be able to work on your own problem. If you feel better afterwards - all the better.

    Outfitting, Maintenance and Repair Preparations

    Hey @dustycassidy I would make a cut in the crack with the saw to widen it ... wrap the entire upper area with adhesive tape and then fill the crack and the screw holes with Epoxi - after curing, re-drill the holes, smooth the filled cut and that's it. Or - clamp it with an iron nail that is...
