Does anyone have comparative experience with both of these similar sized fast doubles? Both are 22' by 26.5 ". I paddled the Nootka in mild conditions and was favorably impressed and I read the favorable Sea Kayaker review of the Passat. Also, there is also a Nootka Plus, which has a center compartment and is an inch wider. Any opinions on this flavor. I am mainly interested in handling in wind and waves in these long, narrow doubles. Don't care about what I believe are small speed or efficiency differences. I am also curious about the Boreal Beluga, which at 21' by 28.5 " would fit better in my garage. Any opinions on this or on Boreal in general. Never have seen one here in Southern Cal.
