Great Tracking Kayak

Even with two people in the boat, with one paddling, and going into the wind, this kayak could make headway. Fairly comfortable boat, and it's nice having a storage hatch. One thing for any kayak you order though, is make sure you inspect it thoroughly when delivered, if you are fussy about dings and scratches. I made a "rush" inspection when delivered (I had to get back to work), and I missed some sizeable gashes on one side, and the bottom. I didn't notice them until I had put the kayak in a stand I made for storage in the backyard. Doesn't affect performance and you'll probably get more as you use the boat, but I would have sent it back if I had taken more time to inspect it (my fault).
