Hi

We are building 3 S&G KAYAKS THIS WINTER.Being from Canada, I have chosen Pygmy because of availablity in my country and the money exchange rate of approximately 50%.We will mainly be in open ocean,with some river and lake paddl
ing,Also we might be adding sails in some way in the future.

I am trying to decide which kayak is right for us.My question is will a 17 ft hard-chine steer easier than a 15 ft 8 in. multi-chine?
