Touring and racing are a bit of an oxymoron. Sort of like finding a good RV that can also hang on the NASCAR circuit
It would help if you were clearly leaning towards one direction or another–say 70/30 or 80/20.
Agreed.
However I once entered my touring sea kayak in a race and won. Seakayak, master class, 5k…also lost the race. Enter races where you are in a class by your self and you only have only to compete against yourself. (PS…I beat 13 rec boats on that race.) I got a nice Tee Shirt, medal and a DVD. :*
Surprised? Always happens. People on forums ask questions people spend time giving advice and looking things up. Then they don’t even come back and say thanks. Sad.
