At first I thought this looked great, until I noticed the "mph" instead of "knots". 5 mph is approximately 4.35 knots, which is very good as a cruising speed, but not extraordinary. Still, I think that the Arctic Hawk is one of the very best boats that I have paddled. It has a wonderful, lively feel; it carves great turns; it's reasonable stable; and it's pretty fast. The bottom line is that it is a *fun* boat to paddle. I am thinking of adding one to my collection.
