The Eclipse 14.5 is the boat that used to be called the Corona.
The Sole has been replaced (in name only) by the Shadow 14.* I find the new names sort of dorky. I'm sure that it helps in making a logical connection between models and lengths (Eclipses are for bigger paddlers, in two lengths, while shadows are for smaller paddles, in two lengths) I simply think the older names sound better, and look better on the bow of a boat. I was paddling a Wavesport T3 (whitewater boat that comes in 4 sizes, T1-T4) and had someone ask me, "Is that the replacement for the T2?" Clearing thinking it was akin to a movie sequel, and not a different size of the same boat. Geoff "LLutton" wrote in message ... I just bought a Perception Eclipse 14.5 and had to order it. Should be here around the 10th of this month. I thought the Eclipse was only a 17' kayak. I've paddled it several times. It's a fine kayak. Do they also make a 14.5' Eclipse? Lynn |
