Melissa in her Caribou comments said, "As with many boats, there's some weathercocking to deal with at times (good trim can minimize this effect, but not totally eliminate it in all conditions)." I only rented a Caribou (no skeg) once and paddled it for about 2 hours. It was blowing 25 to 35, but on protected water. I found that in that wind it was one of the most difficult boats to control direction in that I have ever paddled. I hated it and would never buy one. Many people love it, however.
