Greetings!

In the Lo-Volume Cirrus thread it has been stated that most yakkers are out there blatantly paddling around with more volume than they need for most trips. I wish to learn the ramifications of such behavior, and not knowing where else to turn I put it to this most excellent board. My first guess is that a high volume boat without a load in it gets blown around by the wind more. Second guess is that first guess is only part of it, if part of it at all. Thank you all for adding to my knowledge, easy as it is to do.

Cheers,
Kurt Maurer
