I have grown quite fond of the (used) Wenonah C1W that I bought to replace the Wenonah Prism that M'lady (how to say this nicely) adopted. I would (and may yet) order another C1W. I would stay with the ultra-light kevlar lay-up, but opt for all wood trim, just 'cause it's so pretty. I like the boat because it is extremely light at 33lb, and has tremendous capacity. It is noticeably faster than the Prism, and actually seems to gain stability as the water gets rougher. The down side is that the high sides catch a bit more wind than the Prism, and that if I ever let the Ms. paddle it I'll be back in the Prism PDQ ;-) Good idea for a thread, Jack! ByeBye!
