[quote flygoddess]Unless you made it four bladders? Look at the Scadden RAMPAGE. It is 10 1/2 foot, but I was just referring to adding two from bladders.[/quote]
Additional bladders is tough to do without a LOT of extra work. I could just tack on extra fabric to lengthen but that's not "cool". Besides, gotta keep it tidy and small. I'd rather lose a very small amount of stability rather than add weight and complexity.
That said, I could re-orient the pattern such that each top and bottom sheet could have one seam right at the back and make the 'toons as long as I want. Might do this for future versions and add a crossbar and oars.
