Tipsy Tandem

By Ranked #739 - Kayaks April 26, 2009

My wife and I bought an Old Town Dirigo tandem kayak two years ago. We used it three times. Each time it felt a little tipsy. While primary stability (getting in and out) was not bad, secondary stability (once you get going) presented a problem for us. Several times we felt as if it would tip over, but it never did. However, the sensation of tipping over was enough to make us return the craft. The craft had great features (large storage compartment, cup holders, small storage compartment, and paddle retaining bungie cords.) We loved the way the craft looked. Too bad it didn't work out.
