So adding to the report: At the Alameda put-in, , my 9 yr old nephew stated
he wanted his aunt (me) in the raft with him and his mom could paddle with
his uncle Dave. Only other time she's been in an OC2 was 4 yrs ago. The
picture you're referring to is them at the bottom of Graves Creek Rapid
full, but upright (no swims for them either). The Dimension handles great
full of water i.e.: one can still maneuver the thing.. That was our big
disappointment with the Caption set up tandem, when full of water it was
impossible to stay upright.

Why do you think the Caption tandem is so unstable when full of water?
Both Dimension and Caption canoes are made by Dagger: you'd think they'd
know how to prevent that behavior.

On a lower Tuolumne trip last fall (below La Grange dam) we had one spot
where two canoes tipped over. In my IK, I helped with rescue, and was
flabbergasted how easy it was to push fully-waterlogged canoes to shore.
So I'm not surprised they handle well in that state, especially if they
aren't really full due to float bags (the canoes on the lower Tuolumne
had no float bags).
