Slow is a pretty relative term. While an Aleut may be slower in still water it may be faster in rougher water due to the stability and lack of need to brace. The superior tracking can be a big advantage too. I don't know of another folder that I would be more comfortable in or feel safer in than my Kodiak. I have had five Folbots and currently have three. I traveled all over England and fairly extensively in the states and have never found the Folbots to be lacking in any way. And I can buy two of them new for the price of a used Feathercraft. Mind you I'm not knocking Feathercraft or Klepper. It's just that I don't think they are worth two or three times as much money. And -no one- can beat Folbot's guarantee. Am I biased? Possibly. But five winners in a row are enough to convince me.

I am not sure which Folbot then could be considered and "expedition" boat. Aleut is too small, Yukon is short, wide and probably slow, Greenland is double. May be Kodiak. Or Yukon. Alex.
