I have a Klepper Aerius II, a double..with the sailing rig....Love it to bits...I am mostly out alone in it and handles well... Flies around quite easily a well... I like the Feathercraft lines a lot, not too sure about the sails [batwings???] as much as with the klepper sail, but am just a starter amateur as far as sailing goes... I feel a bit safer with wood componenets of the klepper, it seems to me the klepper is easier to fix if something brakes...I also wonder about the aluminum pieces getting bent or cooroded behond useage... Alreay after 5 years I have to replace a lot of clips, and replaced the paddles every 2 years so far [due to airplane damages] The klepper handles real nice so far in most all weather I have tried.... enjoy Yours naturally sylvio lamarche Wycliffe organic gardens & Exotic locales all over the globe *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
