Everyone I've talked to has commented on how well mannered and manuevrable the Arctic Tern is...it's supposed to be great in waves and wind. I'm new to the sport but have a Dagger Edisto to compare it with, I'll let you know. I'm not going to go out of my way to tip it until I take my Sea Kayak course on July 7th ;) Another local yakker is 6'5" and about 240. He's had his Coho out on Lake Erie in waves - no problem. I DO know that rounded chine boats can "feel" tippy to some folks but that doesn't me they are. I've plenty of experience with that from sailing. I've had land-locked people on my JY 15 and it takes them awhile to get comfortable with the almost constant "rocking" they perceive.

: Those Arctic Terns do look really nice. Here's a shot of one Pete Rudie and I
: saw on a recent outing (that's Pete on the right). Jim, I'm interested in
: how easy it is to flip; I hear the Coho's are a little tippy.
