I purchased the Twin Otter after buying several (single) Otters for my children and a Castaway. Even though the single Otters are great little kayaks, I found the Twin version to be very hard to manuever, especially when paddling solo with a 75 lb dog in front of you. Tracking in this configuration is very, very poor and almost uncontrollable. It is somewhat better with the dog behind, but that doesn't work for us. Additionally, when paddling duel, the rear person gets continuously wet. Also there is apparently no skirt for solo operations should the need arise. Unhappy, I returned the boat for a refund... |
