The Pakboat Saco is great, three of our kayaks fit in the trunk of a compact car! The tracking is ok, the unpacking time is 30 minutes and the packing time is 15 minutes, the kayaks are very stable, and are reasonably fast. We can go in reasonably rough water, and in wind without too much trouble
I love my Saco, and would recommend it to everyone.

Just an update on my Saco.
I have had her out about 20 times so far this year. The set up is going smoother but if anyone tries to help something usually goes wrong. I have had her out on rivers and lakes. Very stable.

I have taken her over 350 meter portages by just holding her under my arm. Lots of fun. It is important to carry the air pump with you on trips.

I just started putting my Puffin Saco together and I was almost crying in frustration. I went on YouTube and saw a guy do it in 10 minutes.
I tried it again and it is a bit tricky but today everything worked great and I set it up in 15 minutes... Do not know whether I will be that lucky again. I have had to leave the stems on the skin and insert the keel into them. The rest of the set up is pretty easy.
The weight is right for me. Hopefully I will get a good amount of paddling done in her. I suggest anyone buying one to watch the video... it might save a lot of frustration.
