I have trouble with the notions of "seakindliness" and "responsive". Do they actually mean anything that different paddlers can agree on? For fast but non-racing, there are the three ruddered, plumb bow boats that come to mind; Epic 18, QCC Q700, and Nemo/Marlin. Whether they are seakindly or responsive I could not say, though I own a Q700. Doug, is your old Nordkapp seakindly and responsive?
