for Capella reviews, or any boat for that matter, go to www.paddling.net
then go to product review then P&H.  plenty of reviews.  it's a popular boat
in the mid-west.  I paddled it a little.  the cockpit could be bigger. just
MHO.

Hello paddlers,

If the cockpit of the Capella were bigger it would be a canoe! :-)
I am 6´4 and have abnormally long legs and for me it feels kind of big.
I guess you are not a big fan of ocean cockpits then?
The Capella is in MHO one of the best plastic boats out there. Very lively
and fun and the plastic very stiff. The only thing I had to make more suited
to me was padding the cockpit, the sides and under the deck.
My wife paddles it now and quite likes it.

Regards,

sno
