Most of them I'd say.

 



Maybe so, but this was the point at the start of this thread. No one has hijacked it here!

Thuis speaks a man who's never sailed an International Canoe I reckon... Going upwind is the best bit: its amazing!

Jim do you prefer upwind in a canoe, or downwind in a cherub in big breeze?

You really need to get in/on one, but I think its to do with narrow beam, efficient, but not huge rig, and sailing the boat from the end of a plank about 4 feet off the side!
