I don't keep up on it but from the postings on Facebook by guys like Joe O' one of the hot boats is the "Black Pearl" which, apparently, also comes in white but is still called the "Black Pearl". Apparently "Opalescent Pearl" isn't catchy enough. Pam has been paddling one of Stirling's Illusions for the past couple of years and told me that she can barely get a tent, sleeping, bag and food into the aft hatch. But it rolls well. A year ago she and I were in Port Townsend and she gave herself an ice-cream headache rolling a couple of the new Pygmy kayaks. There was a couple trying out a more benign pair of Pygmy boats that were pretty much blown away watching her roll over and over and over.... I think they were seeing themselves having to learn how to do that and wondering if they'd survive. :) Craig *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
