Hello, I'm curious to know if any of you paddle one of Nomad Kayaks' boats. A Canadian company (Quebec), Nomad offers nearly completed boats. Buyers 'glass the seam, install bulkheads, rudder and deck fittings, etc. Combine a little sweat equity with the condition of the Canadian dollar, the boats come at a bargain price. Specifically, I'd like to know if any of you have paddled one what your subjective impressions are. Is the glass seam adequate? Would a larger paddler (6-4, size 12 shoes 230 pounds) fit in the "sportier" Exocet model, or would I be limited to the Vagabond, which seems a bit tubby -- at least on paper. Any impresions about the overall quality of the boat?
