Doug inquires:
>>So what would you normally put the weaker paddler into? Something more
maneuverable? Or is it the overall size of the GT that is the problem.
Inquiring minds want to know.

Something smaller *and* more maneuverable.  We have alot of different models
in the program so it's fairly easy to pick something more suitable.  I agree
with you about the Solstice series being a fine example of PNW design.
Great performance, stability and tracking. I just think that the paddler
needs to be up speed, strength and size wise to fit these boats.  Especially
because the tracking is sooooo good.
