Fanshaw Lake D.B. Festival


The conditions were perfect for the Fanshaw Lake Dragon Boat Races. Mild temperature, no wind, blue sky. The races all were beautifully matched through the wide sectrum of classes. I parked myself under a chestnut tree, worked on paddles and talked to people passing by. I was really pleased with the positive feedback from racers regarding my newest Racing Paddle design. It is in for approval with the I.D.B.F.
I sold some paddles, which is nice. The most interesting thing was an enqyirey about a Bicycle attachment to go with my Kayak Cart. I had been thinking about this for a while and now I'm commited to coming up with something this week. This will be an attachment that will universally mount on bycicles and trycicles and hold the stem or stern of a kayak with a universal flex-joint. Suggestions?
Here is a picture of the D.B. paddle donated by Frencman's Bay Kayak Works at the Festival.
