Re: [Paddlewise] boats for smaller paddlers

    There are many good boats out there for smaller paddlers, though you do 
not say how small we are talkin here.  The Wilderness System Tchaika is 14' by 
22 and a really fun boat which I beleive is now available with a skeg.  My 
wife loves it.  The Sparrow Hawk, a Wilderness system Greenland style boat, is 
16' plus and sporty and gorgeous, though it might seem a bit tippy compared with 
what you are paddling now.  The Vela by P&H is a lovely boat also and comes 
with a skeg, as does the Current Designs Slipstream, a lower volume version of 
their Gulfstream.  The Anas Acuta by VCP is the classic, and comes with a 
skeg.  There are others.  The smaller paddler really has a lot to choose from now.
