: Nice little boat, interesting shape for a short one, interested in how it
: performs.

Maiden voyage was last Sunday. She passed the leak test! :-)

With her 13' length and 25.5" beam, she compares favorably to our other rec/light touring kayaks (WS Tsunami 120 and Dagger 12.8). Based on my experience with these poly boats, my first impression is that the Pinguino tracks and glides fairly well. Acceleration is pretty good too.

The Pinguino seems perfect for our typical paddling... Flat water, slow moving rivers, and overnight camping.

Now, time to sand and prep for varnish.
