These were on the Gatineau gallery of pics that Dixieboater referred to. Any clue as to what these are??

Also, anyone ever hear of what is going on with Esquif's Salsa boat?

Esquif Taureau, those were the first production boats, I believe.
The Salsa is, as far as I know, a bit on the back burner, they want to launch the Zephyr first.

So I have seen pictures of the Zephyr....what is different about it compared to say the Detonator or Zoom???

The Zephyr is somewhat similar in shape as a Zoom, but softened up, i.e. longer, wider, with softer chines and less rocker.
I have not paddled it myself, but a friend of mine who paddled it said that it is performance wise somewhere in between a Rival and an Ocoee.
