>Anybody have any thoughts/experience etc..paddling the Romany double? Its called the Triton II double. Amazingly enough, it almost feels like a single. It has a lot of length, but for two experienced paddlers, you can really make this boat go! Leaned turns, no problem. Most doubles need a rudder, but I can see why this one doesn't--the skeg should work just fine. I rolled it with a partner--with and without her assistance, so I imagine you could easily roll it with one of your kids, if they were so inclined. The downsides: cost--I think it's about $3,700, and weight: over 90 lbs. You'd want a cart and some Hully Rollers, as I imagine the kids won't be of much assistance until they're older. It's a fun enough boat that they'd probably still want to paddle it with you as teens or adults.
