That sounds like something that I would write except that the FR Rumour and
CD Slipstream do, IMHO, have excessively low initial stability. In the
Rumour especially I never felt comfortable sitting still unless I had a
paddle ready for a brace. Once it was moving it was a sweet boat to paddle
though.

There's no comparison between these two boats. I find the Slipstream
comfortably stable, but my girlfriend's rumour is positively scary. Even
for someone her size (5'2", 115#) and quite skilled, it's a challenging
boat to paddle. She likes it, but comes home much more tired after
paddling it than with her other boats.
