hey; I like your hat hillbilly. It makes you instantly recognizable in a crowd, kinda like Kenny Roger’s (Oops, I mean Kim’s 🙂 ) beard.
Me; I just wear a tilly in the summer or a “mad bomber” in the winter

Glad we can help. The kip is a really fine boat, just a little tender. what I find helps is to ask someone how the boat is trimmed for your normal load in the water. Mark the slider with a sharpie to give you a starting point, then adjust according to your load. by the time you get used to trimming it, the sharpie will wear off and no-one’s the wiser.;)

I have a Kipawa too, and I find the trim is very important.
moving the bow seat forward and/or shifting packs forward to lower the bow will definately improve tracking. Use which ever paddle works for you, I prefer a straight shaft but most of my partners use bents.

Yeah, I’ve been checking out this site too- If we keep going, I’m sure we there’ll be lots of canadian content soon:)
