Rich
 Would you say that is true in sea kayaks?( I know you don't sea kayak)

**Boats which excel (as much as possible given the design
constraints) at being fast in a straight line, plus quick to turn
(when flat), plus quick to pivot, plus stable when paddled on edge,
plus relatively easy to roll...[etc.] are high-performance boat**

Does not relate for sea kayaks but the same princaple might work 
with I want a boat that will let me to put it anywhere my muscles 
and nerve can manage. which means a more skilled paddler?
