The boats are made by Empacher. There are many models, sizes, variations, and they are made for single rowers and crews. The boats are successful in competition, but I'm not into that except informally. I bought mine used. It was a year old. === That looks just a mite tippy... You just can't see the water wings fastened to those oars! :) The cheaper boats have water wings...the better models depend upon sky hooks! :) |

Well, I won't hold it against you! What? Scotty, like a former poster here, doesn't like a whole group of people if one of them at one time or another said something to him that he didn't like. He's very bigoted. Nope. Take all the time you need to figure out what he was inferring. Good luck with this exercise. I know what he was talking about, I remember the discussion. |

I remember running the lines of one of those in my program once and once the guys are in the seats, it doesn't look that bad but I will leave that commentary to the OP.. It's not unlike a canoe, but worse. Once you are plopped down into the seat, reasonable fore and aft movement is ok, but if you overdo side to side movement, into the drink you may go. I will take your word for it, I have never been in one. I ran the lines on a hull design program and it confirmed your suggestion that once you get down in the thing, it's "OK"... |

There's also the consideration you have to give to the fact that the shells have very little freeboard, less than your typical canoe. The boats are easily swamped, which is why we stay away whenever possible from powerboats and their wakes. The smaller lakes and streams are ideal because you usually do not find the more powerful powerboats there. |
