: Can you comment on how the boat behaves as a single, when paddled from
: the center cockpit?

I have limited experience paddling the triple from the center cockpit and I made no provision to operate the rudder from the center. However the "winnebago" has quite a bit of rocker and easily responds to a lean when paddling with one or two people. I find the beam at center pretty wide for comfortable paddling.
