I'm wondering if working with a boat that is really that easy to roll is more 
productive than struggling with one that is harder? I found that my plastic 
boat is VERY easy to roll. I have been working with my Gulfstream since last 
spring and hadn't tried the Breeze again. I happen to have both boats at the 
pool a few weeks back and tried the Breeze. It was so easy I almost did a 360!
    So I worked with her for the couple of weeks then back in the GS. I found 
the GS so hard to roll then but the progress I made in the Breeze actually 
stuck. I had been trying to learn to roll with a Euro paddle and had no real 
success until I started working in the Breeze. I was also trying to learn to 
roll with my new Greenland paddle. I really hadn't worked with it much before 
I tried it in the Breeze. Moving back to the GS everything was harder but I 
was able to do an extended paddle roll with the Euro paddle. It was so hard 
that I decided not to even try the screw roll that was hard, even in the 
Breeze.
    So, what do people think about continuing to work in the Breeze and going 
back to the GS like once a month for the next 2-3 months? One other 
motivation for that is the pool is really hard on my glass boat. Just getting 
in from the side has badly scratched the boat by the cockpit :(
    Once the water is of a temperature that it is realistic for me to work 
for extended periods of time, I'll just take both boats but at the pool, this 
has several problems.
