Full Skirt on Rec boat?

I agree, mostly
I can see the big difference in rocker on those WW canoes compared to a rec boat. I do agree that will make it turn quickly, across eddy lines especially.



I really just need to get out into some easy class II so I can see how my boat handles fast moving water. Heck, edpending on how it goes, I might forget all-together about tougher whitewater.



What can I say… I’m psyched up. Having spent all of my river paddling life in big, barge-like canoes, I feel nearly unstoppable in my little yak! (I know, I’m not)



Now if this stinking weather would cooperate, I’d be in business.

do take it down a class II first. Straight lines are pretty easy and “straight forward.” :slight_smile: What you want to test is whether it can make lines that are not straight, e.g. Go right and then zip left around a boulder or something. The point is when you get into class III, it aint’ all straight lines anymore. You may have move left to dodge a drop/hole and immediate zip to the right to dodge another. The boat has to be maneuverable enough to do that. If it’s a straight tracker, by the time you get the boat to turn, you’ll be going into the hole sideways.
