I built the Snowshoe 14, and made the designer's modification to straighten the keel. I've only used it a few times; my intention was to use it as a solo boat, but whenever I go solo, I want a kayak. We played with it in the pond, (falling out, climbing back in, etc.) and it held up fine, but I havn't used it enough to see how durable it is. It did seem tippy, but I think that may partly be that it has so little rolling inertia. I would like next to do a kayak with the same technology.

One of these days I will build a web page. Right now we are in the middle of a move and I don't even have a scanner to send you a picture. Come to think of it, I don't even have any pictures!
