He's a good egg, I love the way he got his wee girl involved in rigging the boat and some tripping.

Hopefully this is a useful guide or provides inspiration for someone to try something new.

I can't help but think that "fing" should be added to the end of the boat name

Lol !.

My canoe has sadly lain unloved/used for over a year now due to a back injury. I can't fingure out the airbag fastening, & don't understand why they put the lacing down the sides, i'd appreciate someone putting me right on this.

Lacing the sides is good for generally attaching anything and being laced throughout the length can be useful during some rescues.

The airbags are really attached via the D-ring (glued to the inside of the boat) and the strap, the lacing is just to help keep it in position.

Sounds like you need a strong bow paddler so you can sit in the back and do a few lazy j-strokes?

We-no-na-fing, love it!

Thanks, its the twisting that gets me, i'll just have to stick to the monkey climb or something...
