The text looks impressive enough on the Rockpool web site and the lineage the developers/designers have in Northern Wales is probably beyond reproach. It would indeed be interesting to test the ALAW against the other top kayaks form that part of the globe, the Point 65N XP, the Valley Nordkapp, the P&H Quest and the Romany line for instance. The waterline looks a little more extended than the Jubilee, so may be a bit faster. Let us know what you find out. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> See Doug Wilcox's report on the Alaw (and other kayaks) from his blog: _http://seakayakphoto.blogspot.com/search/label/Rockpool%20Alaw_ (http://seakayakphoto.blogspot.com/search/label/Rockpool%20Alaw) Check the Community and Almanac section of the UK Sea Kayak Guidebook site here: _http://www.ukseakayakguidebook.co.uk/_ (http://www.ukseakayakguidebook.co.uk/) The boats have high marks from some of the paddlers. Nice footage of them in action on the last 2 This Is The Sea DVD's. Not sat in one as the only one I saw on the west coast is the smaller Bach version that I couldn't get into the way it was configured. Attention to details looked quite nice.
