I don't have the link or source for this corroborating evidence, but Black Diamond has pull tested the old tat cut down from climbing anchors after it has baked in the direct sun for unknown seasons. Although there is thought to be serious concern surrounding UV degredation, these samples reliably t...

I got there just in time to see Eli, no photos. Here's a few of Deguil: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-uSs7O6Nw5gw/Trim7Z4LmUI/AAAAAAAAAlA/eqaypijD7dg/s512/DSC_0724.JPG https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-fqIcP7ii1VQ/Trim8vsCa4I/AAAAAAAAAlE/gjlfoV7FLBA/s640/DSC_0739.JPG https://lh5.googleusercont...

in case it appeals to you westerners...

It looks like we will have some OC's to cheer on in Saturday's race: http://www.boatingbeta.com/race/green_registration Dunno if it is too late for others to step up, but we can at least support those running. There are a few C1s as well. Best of luck yall, here's to clean runs, strong helmets, and ...

Hmm.. any other thoughts on the _where_ question of putting the break in the paddle? I assume two-piece is better than 3 if you can fit it. And any other success stories of getting your break-down with no additional cost? If someone can name me a retailer in the greater Asheville area that can order...

Thanks for the fascinating photos and report. Please continue to post your observations on noticeable changes to the Probe's performance. Mohawk thwarts: Unless they changed the system, there is a aluminum dowel/cylinder that attaches to the thwart and extends down into the foam saddle. It is a pret...

http://cboats.net/cforum/viewtopic.php?t=7964265&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= I never got around to pulling in the thwarts on my probe, so I'd be interested in your mileage. I DID paddle the probe down some class IV water while I was in between primary boats, and it styled it! It's a ...

When we had that thread about what new C-boat people wanted to see, I really hoped that Mohawk was listening. I advocated for a Viper 11 update. These are classic boats that continue to make for very happy boaters, but at the same time, haven't we learned some things in the past 10-15 years of boat ...

I now consider myself a "beginner/Intermediate" canoe fixer. I'll defer to the experts on this one. This Dagger caption takes on enough water when paddled to challenge the notion that it "floats." It was purchased for (literally) $30 and may be worth that. I would like it to MOSTLY not leak, and may...

I get out early on Tuesdays. If things are still kicking on tues, I could leave from Asheville around 2. I dunno if that leaves enough time to get there and boat. I would look at either Wilsons or Watauga or some class III/IV somethin' if there is still water kickin'. I would probably need a visual ...

Yes there will be some canoes on the Cheoah. I am planning on being there, and I have talked to 3-4 other open boats planning on making the pilgrimage (and fishing me out of holes?) I assume we would be arriving mid-morning from the AVL area and making a day of it, but specific plans have not yet be...

I don't know enough about Kayaks to recognize the "front" and the "back" of this Kanoe. Is the logo-end the front or back? From the photos it is not clear if there is a difference in rocker, hull profile, etc., but the splash guard seems less pronounced on the non-logo end. I wonder if this end stil...

Hey, John. Good to see you'll be getting out this winter... Don't be fooled by drypant/drytop separates. They will never be really dry in a canoe unless you stay upright. More than anything they hold the water in, and at best act as a great wind and splash layer. Drypants are awesome for cold water ...

anyone got a Pyranha/Esquif side-by-side hull comparison photo?

OK, so I am resurrecting this fascinating thread in response to this spotting of an actual off-side low brace: did you guys across the pond figure out how to offside brace or somethin ;) Just to jump on your auto-hijack here :) , there was an interesting (to me) discussion around offside braces some...
