Kevin,

Regarding the P&H Capella:

If I remember correctly, you have had a plastic P&H Capella, and
apparantly have had some experience with the fiberglass version as well.
Can you comment about similarities/differences in fit, performance, etc?

I recently had an opportunity to try my first British kayak - Romany
Explorer.  I was quite impressed with its secondary stability, and
maneuverability for a 17'6" boat.  If you've had any experience with
this boat or the 16' version, I'd appreciate your comments relative to
the Capella.

Thanks,
