I think Hannah Clark was 54kg and about 5'4" when she was second in the Int. Canoe worlds.
The seat evens things out a lot. |

How about the 6' skiff that people keep on talking about developing? I think you'd need to be about 50 kg to stop it sinking when in displacement mode...

I don't know about anyone else but my 6 foot skiff is going to have enough rag to never sail in displacement mode in normal conditions. If there is no wind then I'll be in the bar!

for everyone watching A cat is the answer. A class, or F16, Shadow for Inter 17. Or even a Sprint 15 (Ex Dart 15) if you want to travel a little slower... |

What fantastic pics of the 6' skiff! I'm not sure that is exactly what others had in mind for a modern one, though...I would expect rather less hull volume and slightly more controllable sail shape. Bowsprit looks about right, though! |
