I also note that yesterday I went to the Seda homepage and noticed
that they're selling the boat with a slogan like "with speed comes
safety!" I doubt that the Pintail is sold like that at all.

Naah, the Pintail would be something like "With handling comes safety."
You wouldn't use downhill skis on a slalom course, no matter how
"fast" they are.

BTW - I know a lot of kayakers who paddle a Pintail at the same speed
as many can paddle a Seda under touring conditions. I also know someone
who bought a Seda (forget which model) for "speed" and spent an
incredible amount of time getting back into the kayak after tipping
over. YMMV.
