This is a beautiful boat that hearkens to the real Greenland skin boats in its lines. It is very well made, and handles like a sporty boat which will allow a paddler to progress in rolling and handling in rougher waters. It fits snuggly without being too tight. It has enough room for modest trips and is well appointed with features that all paddlers appreciate. I paddle this boat off the east coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and it is the perfect boat for these waters.
