Drive Like Your Grandma
A while ago I posted on the Kayak Building Forum in a discussion about how car topping kayaks affects your MPG. I recently discovered for myself that it makes a significant difference whether I transported my kayak upside down (which probably decreases drag) than right side up. Since gas prices have gone up I started to pay attention to little details like that especially on longer trips. Then a few days ago I read this very interesting article in Mother Jones about hypermilers , these guys who have become experts at squeezing as many miles per gallon from their cars as possible by changing the way they drive. read more »

Quantum Racing scores two bullets in the second day of the Cagliari Trophy
[Source: AUDI Medcup] A pair of well won victories on the Gulf of Cagliari by Terry Hutchinson (USA) and the crew of the Quantum Racing not only earned the American boat the overall lead on the Audi MedCup Circuit 2008 today, but sees them just one point behind Mean Machine (MON) the leaders of this Audi Region of Sardinia Trophy regatta. While Mean Machine posted a second and third from an interesting days racing which, despite the slightly one sided courses, proved a good test of starting, upwind and downwind strategies, Quantums two near identical starts and the ability to earn the lions share of the favored right early in both races, was the key to their twin successes today. Quantum showed good speed throughout the day over both races which were sailed in 11-15 knots of what is proving a consistently reliable sea-breeze, reliable to the point that some crews might be really looking forward to new challenges of tomorrows coastal race, and to Friday when a change in the wind direction and conditions is forecast. read more »

Put your head in it
This is where I stuck my head yesterday - the Thames.
As part of the kayak course did an x-rescue and one of the rolls in its very murky brown waters. And with the nose clip falling off while upside down ended up swallowing much more than would like.
Actually biggest danger was banging my head - at low tide the river is very shallow indeed. read more »

Fogo Island Regatta - a ten-mile rowing race on the open sea
Fogo Islanders hold an annual ten-mile rowing race in traditional carvel-built rowing boats. I recommend you take a moment to enjoy the videos, and the deteminedly traditional rules. This isn’t a race that just anyone with a boat can enter:
‘A punt may be disqualified from The Great Fogo Island Punt Race to There and Back for if it contains fiberglass, particularly if the hull has a fiberglass coating.’ read more »
