Arctic Tern vs Osprey
Posted by: Tommymc on Apr-16-12 8:19 PM (EST)

Thanks for the replies. I've had my eyes on the Arctic Tern....I think my main concern is the length. 17ft seems huge...although I guess it's only a foot longer than our canoe which goes everyplace we want. Is the AT truly more maneuverable than the shorter Osprey?
