International Canoe

because... of everything really..
for instance
- waterline beam is for wimps...
- stability is for the second rate...
- sliding seat is *so* much more efficient than wings and wires

Pacer's sails are darker blue; does that give me more points?

Hey, how about the Redwing because their sails are red.

Clap Now we're getting somewhere!

 

I would like to back the Topper as well, because you can sail it up a shingle beach with no damage to the boat (and minimal damage to the helm - I'm a living proof) and scare paddling children, passing dogs and waddling joggers in the process!

Blaze - the best bit is that it is no longer a Topper...(must remove those nasty stickers) oh and anyone can sail one in stupid winds and survive the gybes....
