In a previous article, John Fereira said:
Sirocco. Based on price the Passage is a winner and if $ were not an
issue to the Skerray would be the way to go?


Someone else mentioned an VCP Avocet. If the place you are looking at that
has the Skerray also has an Avocet I'd recommend trying one. Even though


Yes, they do - at least this summer they had two of them. I generally
paddled one and my wife paddled the other. I liked the Avocet better than
the rental Skerray generally but was told that a big guy like me (6'2",
250lbs) would probably be happier in a Skerray. Then I tried the "for
sale" Skerray, and realized that the things I liked best about the Avocet
(a really snug seat so I could move the boat around better with my hips,
good thigh pads, easier to use skeg control, a coaming that didn't cut
into your hands when you picked the boat up) were also present in the
Skerray, just not the one I'd been renting (which was a trade-in and had
been heavily customized by the previous owner).

D: is just a data disk. That's why it's called "D", for "DATA".
C: is the Windows OS disk, so it's called "C", for "CRAP".
