I just received a QCC 400X. It's Kevlar and with a skeg weighs 46 lbs. I paid $2,500 for the boat including a Lightning paddle, Lotus vest, pump, cockpit cover and skirt. Although this is my first Kayak I am an experienced sailor and I can tell you that the general execution is first rate. Also QCC has far and away the best service of any merchant I have ever dealt with (on or off line!!) Yesterday I paddled 7 miles around Raritan Bay (New York.) The wind was westerly changing to southerly at about 10 kts gusting to 15 the seas were short less then a foot with an occasional 18 inch swell. Obviously these were not difficult conditions but I did not have any difficulties with weather cocking regardless of the wind direction or velocity.
