Rick's correct.  The KajakSport Viking was written up in Seakayaker and it
did get great reviews.

It's a great boat and we have had very good luck with KajakSport boats.  My
65 year young Mom has one!  She loves it.  It is right in the middle of the
stability/ performance/ sporty boat field.  It does everything a 16X22
should. Quite maneuverable and a sweet skeg system for adjustable tracking.
If you are too broad of beam it could be a problem though, as the standard
seat isn't huge.  There is a larger seat that can be ordered.  The
workmanship is wonderful.  Something that is a bit elusive on many "east
side of the pond" boats.  All in all, I strongly recommend the Viking.
