Hi DJ, I have never seen a Perception Dagger, but I've rolled the Perception Pirouette, Pirouette S, and Perception Dancer. Anyhow, they're all pretty easily rolled. My Chesapeake 17 is pretty difficult to roll because of its hard chines. I haven't rolled a Guillemot, but I'd imagine it would be somewhere between the Perception whitewater boats and my CLC--probably closer to the ww boats.

Once you have the mechanics of your roll down, you can roll even difficult-to- roll boats as long as you have good outfitting in the cockpit.
