Submitted: 10-30-2006 by griffin800 First, I've yet to find any boat that truely deserves a 10, so a 9 is really high. For me the only down side is the odd placement of the forward hatch, sits much lower than the deck line, looks to me at least a bit odd. I found, fairly limited experience with this boat (about a 3 hour demo), that the skeg wasn't really needed, really easy to hold on edge so it would track either upwind, downwind or across the wind without it. Did try it though and found very little drag with the skeg down. Overall a really nice boat, specially for the price, good enough I've got one on order |
