Guy's/Gals,
I recently took my new Dyson 5.28m out on a speed trial. I averaged 3.9k for
three hours. I tried to do a circle to neutralize the wind and current. I'm not
in excellent shape (yet) as I just got back to paddling after a broken hip.I
used a Warner Camano 230mm. What is your experience with speed?
Also, what are you using for seats. I am experimenting with a new Jelly used on
bicycle seats. Called Spenco.. 1/2 in thick and very slimy and stickey, hard to
work with but feels good on the bum... I think 1/4 in would work better. I put
this over 1/2 inch closed cell foam and taylored it to go over the ribs and
keel. This stuff also floats and is quite heavy and won't stick with contact
cement. Any other Ideas???
Thanks
