: I've paddled every kayak the local dealer has well except for the
: SOT's and the tiny rec boats. I volunteer as a safety boat for
: the dealer so can borrow any boat he's got and do so quite
: often. There are just many home built designs I've never paddled
: so it's hard to make comparisons. It takes a fair amount of time
: to do this. Paddling for 5 minutes doesn't give you much of a
: feel for how a boat handles. There is a real limit to the amount
: of time that a person has afterall :)

Eric's question is kind of relevant and welcomed as long as we would like already classics like Petrel or NH(there are many others too)from the builders scene,to be found compared in the "charts" along with Nordkapp, Explorer, or many others . I can't cope with the fact that no one is able/willing to answer the question straight. Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt anybody in any way but I am on the search for the answer to exactly this intriguing question.
