I have mainly been using this boat for day paddling on Lake Superior, typically in fairly moderate / easy conditions. The boat has reasonable speed and turns well when using a lean to assist in the turn. I like that it has a larger front round hatch as well as a little ditty bag like hatch above
the cockpit.
The boat's secondary stability isn't quite what I'm used to when coming about in waves but I normally paddle a boat that is known for its secondary stability, I use this boat when paddling solo for day paddling.
