with a design defect. Any ww boat that allows that much water into the boat is obviously badly designed. If one must paddle a canoe on ww, then the intelligent thing to do is paddle C-1. See it's a lot of building software--early releases often contain defects (ie bugs); later releases correct that problem. So the OC-1 is v1.0 and the C-1 is v2.0. What amazes me is that v1.0 ever got past quality control with a flaw as noticeable as an enormous hole in the top. Perhaps, the QA people were using the wrong specs (the flat water requirements) instead of the correct ones (the ww requirements).
