Virtual Racing by kayak and canoe

Boats: home made skin on frame Greenland and Baidarka kayaks. The Thunderbolt is the first kayak I have purchased and have been paddling it only two weeks.

Racing: entering NECKRA events, mostly in the New England area. Last Sunday I won the Rec class in the General Clinton 12 mile event using my 16' Baidarka.

Measurements: I use Garmin Forerunner for time and distance.

Speed: Over a 6 mile lake side course I average 5.6 mph in my 16' Baidarka, 6 mph in the West Side Boat Shop Thunderbolt.
