The SeaStar is a fast, straight tracking kayak with minimal rocker. I have paddled her in winds (and seas) to 30 kts at all angles and weather cocking is minimal. In fact, I removed the rudder and have had no regrets. I also replaced the fiberglass seat with a foam one and added to the knee braces for better control. It is a deep dry boat with a lot of storage and is ideal for a large person with a long torso as the cockpit coaming is relatively high. When the boat was new it had some weepy hull-deck leaks which Eddyline repaired promptly. SeaStar surfs easily on wind waves or with a gentle broach to the beach. A lot of fun to paddle distance.
