Does anyone here paddle a Hahn? If so, how do they hold up? I wonder how these would be for creeking . . .

Get a Magnet or Blackwater...
The Hahn is a BIG boat (remember this is a slalom design 
). Most are oldish too. As such, you've got older glass / resin-composite materials have come a long way in 30 years. I have a '77 Millbrook Sweet-Hahn. Nice boat, but it looks it's age and is a bit flexible (race layup, I think...).
For a composite creeker, I'd go for a Magnet or Blackwater (both shorter with more rocker), or better yet a Hornet

Once paddled Andy Bridge's Magnet on a lake, and really liked it. Does anyone have the mold?
I am just trying out a Millbrook Wide Ride I bought from Don George. Pretty good boat, good enough that I don't miss being in my Zealot all that much. (I'm too heavy for the Zealot now, anyway.) I used to own a Hahn, back in the 70s, and while the Hahn might be better over some steep drops, the Wide Ride (and the Hornet and the Minimax) would FAR outhandle the Hahn.
