rigging on the hard

Hi all
I was wondering if any one had any advice or a routine for rigging an oc1 on a gravel beach with out
scratching up the gel coat or dinging the rudder. I see Huki has some very expensive foam blocks with straps for such tasks. Not all launch sites are beach sand or grass lawns… Thanks.

Marker on Fibreglass craft

Quick question,

I have been peeling off the old manky stickers on my glass Millenium, and was going to hand draw some things like a stylised Fenn logo.

I was planning on just using a black Sharpie permanent marker. Are there any forseeable problems with doing this?

Seat/velcro adhesive

Does anyone recommend an adhesive that works best for attaching velcro to seat material (closed cell foam) and to the hull itself? Also, to adhere to pieces of closed cell foam together? I’ve had marginal results w/ the adhesives I’ve used in the past.

Wanted: Paddle Adapter

I’m looking for a Vermont Waterways (paddlemachine.com) EARLY adapter for a Concept 2 erg (model C or better). This is/was the adapter w/ the separate seat rail. They don’t make it anymore. Let me know if you have one and would like it taken off your hands. I’m on the mainland (eastern U.S.) (I posted a “wanted” in classifieds..but it didn’t show up).

Tough Question/It has to be asked

OK.

So this year I move into master’s division, and a few questions have been rattling around in my head as I reflect on the Masters and Senior Master’s divisions

At the Molokai Hoe or the Molokai Solo, what percentage of the Masters, Senior Masters, or Golden Masters are taking HGH or other performance enhancing drugs? Do we care? How many paddlers are not being true to the sport and saying it is a medical issue so I have to?

I know we have talked about this before and debated back and forth about testing, time, energy, extra cost, so I really don’t want to talk about that.

Hi, new paddler on the scene.

Hey everyone,

I live in Australia, lovely waterways all around (I live on the water Sydney Harbour).

I am 22 yrs old, and after seeing so many people having fun on the water in kayaks, I decided to go out and buy one for myself to use.

After investigating kayak designs, I settled on a surf- lifesaving ski design (I paddled them for a bit as a teenager for a surf club) and decided I could handle the stability issue. Took me a little looking but I found a good bargain on a ocean ski.

Any official/unofficial Koa Nui race results?

Any? Saw the pics which were awesome, but would like to see the results if available.

Happy ANZAC Day, Rambo

In case you, or the other Diggers and Kiwis, overlooked it.
