The kayaks are 14 feet long (a little less on the waterline) and their hull speed is, accordingly, slightly under 5 knots (5.7 mph). Beyond this speed, human or sail power is usually not enough to go any faster. So, we "almost" achieved half of our theoretical limiting speed. I think that's pretty good for a shakedown cruise.STobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15496512106588357674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11232148.post-34504849086502353982007-10-07T18:02:00.000-04:002007-10-07T18:02:00.000-04:00Such fun!Such fun!Brent Bucknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14754659334435107746noreply@blogger.com
