I had to rush a bit at the end so that it would be ready for a kayak class I took this weekend, but it floats just fine. By it, I mean a Pygmy Osprey Standard. In the class they said there are good turning boats and good tracking boats. This falls in the later catagory. It loves to go straight, but with my limited ability, it can be a challenge to turn.

I got very good at falling out of the boat (heated pools are a wonderful invention!!) and I also discovered that the local waters will take your breath away when you go for an unintended swim

It is a lovely boat, and it most decidedly turns heads!
