1**	we-no-nah rendezvous, custom glass/kevlar solo downriver touring
canoe. my favorite of all favorites. large enoug to carry what ever you
want, and at 15'6" longer and faster than my sea kayaks. but it is also
15" deep, so it catches the wind. hence on most lakes, my preference is
the SK's.

1.	prijon yukon expedition. fun in class II, a slug on a lake ;-)

2.	aquaterra spectrum. work in class II, much better on a lake.

both these have faily large cockpits, so i like them, at 6' [1.8m], and
200#+/- [losing more and more ;-) [86-90kg] i like a large boat. but by
sea kayak standards, both of these SK's are short, and when i paddle with
the RMSKC, i rarely keep up [unless the water gets rough, then i do pretty
well!!]
