That looks like a good option, thanks. I also agree with the suggestion offered for a wider boat but as my Heritage is very wide and ultra-stable I think I'd like something slimmer and faster for a second boat. It's rather tough being a lighter-than-usual paddler looking for more room in that most options leave my bobbing like a cork! While I know that a higher deck will add more wind resistance I figure it should even itself out if the boat is otherwise the correct size and I am comfortable enough to stay in it for awhile.
