George,
Thank you very much for sending the two occasional papers from the BHS. Can
I send you some payment?
Immediately upon receiving the package I sat down and read #2 "Form and
Function of the Baidarka" straight through. I have not yet absorbed all it
had to say, but, one thought occurred to me while reading.
Is there any historical commentary on the paddling cadence of the kayakers?
It strikes me with my limited experience with a relatively narrow
"traditional" style paddle, that it would require a whirl-wind stroke rate to
produce and maintain a high speed with one of these paddles.
Thanks again,
Nick Schade
