Just as Doug Hylan wrote: “ These are great little boats, seaworthy, stable, and easily rowed. Here is a pod that is a bit smaller than most, but she will still carry a big load and bring you through some lumpy water with confidence.”
She’s as good as it gets: just for some fun exercise rowing, or as tender hauling people and stuff to and from the big boat. I’ve been out in a good chop and no water got into the boat.
Rows and tracks very well. The perfectly symmetrical hull is easy to balance by moving to the other thwart and rowing “backwards” when seating a passenger in the bow, and by reversing that sequence and rowing “forward” again when seating a third person the stern.
I’m very happy with the design and row more often than I had ever thought—it’s just delightful to be out in a simple and yet beautiful boat.
