....don't get those Nomex knickers in a twist. The OP did not clarify "not used boats" in his initial post so the responses regarding those are understandable.
And stating "in case (family and friends) really get into it (sea kayaking)" delivers nothing about the actual skill level of people who might use the boat. And none of us is psychic (at least that would admit it) so we don't know where he's paddling or what size the people are.
It was not a scrupulously concise question, so the slight randomness of answers is a perfectly reasonable result. Am I wrong?
Some of us post from work, by the way. I don't always have time to carefully read EVERY other post response before hastily posting my own -- we even have an exasperating security time-out here that interrupts my connection every 5 minutes, forcing me to request another block of time (and voiding anything I have been typing) so I have to constantly hilite/copy as I type to avoid losing the text.
This is a casual forum, not a journalism class.
