Has anyone paddled the new Perception Eclipse. I think it is a re-design
of the venerable Sea Lion. My club is in the market for some plastic
boats, with the primary requirements being...
 1. Does not weathercock
 2. Does not need a rudder or skeg to achieve #1

Our club has several old sea lions, which have been quite useful, but they
do weathercock a little too much. I am hoping that the redesign has taken
care of that problem.

I would also be interested in any comments regarding the handling of the
Perception Shadow, which appears to be a smaller SeaLion, more or less.
And I would love to hear about any other plastic boats that meet the above
requirements.

Thanks a bunch,
Kevin
