Sold the Cascade. Still selling a Cudamax in great condition, and the Maverick Plus in heavier layup and in good shape, and now adding my Zealot. I'm in Knoxville tn and can travel a bit if necessary

Cudamax by upstream edge, perfect condition with extra cloth lay up, Maverick Plus good shape and dagger cascade good shape. All kept indoors. I'm in E tn and if interested I can meet at the NOC

... but I think they're all the 4m length for C1 or 4.5m length for C2. (Kaz, please correct me if I'm wrong.) **> I know what you mean about the Maverick. I paddled a Maverick Plus for a few years. I liked it if I was paddling well that day, but it could be rather frustrating at times. In the ...

As I explained in the another thread I wasn't able to try very many C1's, but compared to a Maverick of approx '96 vintage, my iScream is a lot more forgiving. The rule changes were primarily to suit races in artificial courses which are getting narrower and narrower ...

I can only compare an old Maverick with my new iScream, and bear in mind that I weigh about 115kg at present so have an XXL iScream, whilst the Maverick would have been cut for less than 80kg (it wasn't a +). The Maverick was a nightmare ...

We build the Maverick plus in 13 '1 1/2 in and 10.6 ' 'versions . It's A modified version of the Maverick for heavier paddler Mike Corcoran from Ireland . He. weighed about 94 kg / 207 lbs. it is Slightly wider and taller at the same line. Might be a solution for you.

So far so good! Much less twitchy than my Maverick or other boats I've tried before (all of which are too small for me). Not sure about the trim, the stern does seem low, but it doesn't feel like the stern is down when paddling - I have only been ...

... it on the flat I had much more confidence that I wasn't going to trip over an edge just forward paddling (yep, that's how overweight I am for the maverick!) and could quite confidently pivot both ways. I also found it much easier to keep it straight, far fewer cross deck strokes - possibly because ...

You might have liked my old Dagger Zealot, which handles heavier paddlers well, and while slower than a Maverick, has better turning and pivoting behavior. Maverick is too "tubular".

... to find out which model and actually paddle it a bit to find out how it really handles - first impressions were that it is much easier than my Maverick which I am at least 30kg too heavy for. Other manufacturers either don't build C1s or list max weights way below what I need. Obviously being ...

Pat - I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling to really get into C1! My problem is almost certainly that I'm switching between an Ocoee and Maverick, the latter of which is a bit low volume for me. I was thinking about converting my Session+ now that I've reverted to my Glide for kayak playboating, ...

... impossible for me to relax at all and concentrate on paddling it, even sitting still the rear edges can trip me up! I'm pretty sure the rear of my Maverick (which I am too heavy for) is not so low, mind you it seems my problem there is lack of volume up front giving me confidence issues committing ...

Having patched my Maverick at the weekend I decided to try to learn to paddle it on flat water before trying to negotiate the concrete course designed for 3.5m boats again. I thought I was in luck when I arrived at the centre yesterday ...

The Maverick (even the plus sized model) will pivot, but... it helps to have some weight and commitment

Check!

Just patched mine up and had another go on flat water and that all seems to tally with my experience, although I have virtually no technique, it does seem pretty reluctant to pivot!
