S. Yoars;
Folded it 4 foot but I put the mast between one ama and the hull, that adds 6 inches.

Larryhts,
Nice video, you were really moving.

Watch the paddle, at speed it can get knocked out of the holder and leave if not leashed.

Larry,

Looks like fun. Do you know how fast you were going?
What are your thoughts? Any rudder issues?

Mark.

Mark;

On that lake the highest recorded speed was 9 mph. No troubles at all, handeled like a dream. No weather helm at all. :mrgreen:
