All need a little skeg now and again. In general, Doug, what is gained from a kayak that is demanding vs a similar one that is not as demanding? It is not like the Tiderace or Romany are inferior to the NLV in conditions because they are less demanding. What is lost from a bit of stability provided by these similarly purposed boats, or gained from the twitchy quickness of the NLV?
