: I'd ask Dan Caouette, pretty sure he's paddled both.

I wish... I have a standard Guillemot. I've built two Njords but never had a chance to paddle either. They were both spring builds. I have experience with the Expedition but from talking with Bjorn and my customers, I hear the Njord is very fast and really comes a live when the water gets rough. I'll talk with my NH customer and see if he can see you his thoughts on the Njord.
