The Dirigo 120 is a great multi-purpose boat. It is stable with a large (40 inch)cockpit. It is rugged on the rocks, adequate for most class 2-3 rapids. The boat has a good turning radius but it also tracks well on flat water. The seat is comfortable compared to most kayaks and can be adjusted for individual preferences. The boat has good control w/ foot, knee and back control points. Storage is adequate for day trips but comes up short for overnight tours. The biggest drawback is lack of speed on flat water. It requires stamina to keep up with the longer and faster boats. It is a GREAT multi-purpose kayak.
