I am looking for feedback from owners of Boreal Designs' Ellsmere.
Especially interested in the way the boat handles in gnarly condtions:steep
following seas, windy conditions, etc. Does it have a tendency to broach or
weathercock? How well is the boat put together and finished?

I've only demo'd the Ellsemere and liked it a lot but I thought I'd mention
that this boat is reviewed in the most recent issue of Sea Kayaker magazine.
