I got to demo Bobby's Sea Sprit II at Nick Schade's meet a couple of
months ago. It is a sweetheart of a boat. It doesn't weathercock
appreciably, is the easiest sea kayak I've ever done a balance brace in
(No paddle!), and rolls so easy, I can handroll it with little effort.

But if you're looking for an expedition boat, that ain't it. Very low
volume aft of the cockpit. Great day paddler, though.
