Hint , hint Chief !
I sure wish they had a class for straight kayakers without sails in the EC.
My wife and I have been paddling kayaks, without sails, both singles and doubles for twenty years, and last year as well as this year can't find a class for a regular old kayaker.
I am sure there are many paddlers with seventeen and eighteen foot tupperware or composite kayaks that would be entering the EC if there was a class for them.
All comments welcome, but please don't advise getting a sail, cause that is not going to happen.
