I am considering the standard Greenlander (ocean cockpit) for combination 2-3 day camping trips and surfing on Lakes Michigan and Huron. I have test paddled it on calm water and would appreciate appraisals from others who have paddled it in rough water, windy conditions & any other aspect you would care to comment on. E.g., Has anybody gotten a day hatch? Noticeable tracking problems without a skeg?

tom ... i will only comment on the day hatch. Regardless of boat, i believe a day hatch is extremely valuable. It is easily accessible for things you may want while on the water. I have a romany and carry the following items in the day hatch: first aid/repair kit, vhf, cag, spare water bottle, paddling jacket(depending on weather), flashlight, gloves (cold weather), and some things that do not come immediately to mind. sid *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
