: Hi John,

: Cool, though I suspect you'll be at the opposite end of the speed range than
: the cat.

: I'm trying today to finish the basic stability calculations on the cat and
: see what I messed up, though I think I have an idea :)

: Going to be a heck of alot easier to reset the width if I have an idea of how
: far apart it'll need to be go get some sort of stability. Not like me to
: mess this up like this, though knowing how late I started this project
: last year, think I may have shortcut the stablitiy calculations a little
: far, oops :)

: Bill H.

As I think I read earlier Bill, if you can set up a couple of adjusting AKA's you can zero in on exactly the perfect width for your kayak cat. Nice innovative thinking Bill on your cat. I'll keep checking to see how you are doing.
