Doug and All,
   
  I took a look at that link.
   
  What I want to know is when kayak manufacturers are going to stop designing sea kayaks with so much stern rocker. I see stern rocker, and I see a weathercocking and broaching SOB with high a PO factor. It seems they are fine making their kayaks skeg or rudder dependent even for mild conditions.
   
  Is Mariner the only manufacturer to ever get it right?

  Bjorn indicates he understands that the Tiderace models will be available 
later on in small and/or LV versions. A lot of "LV" versions of kayaks these 
days are just cut down models from the bigger sibling. It will be 
interesting to see if that is the route Tiderace goes.
