Thanks for reminding some of the good things I forgot about c boats. I know what you mean about the dryer be warmer in our similiar climates with freezeing cold water. I really like that part about deck boating.
I have been in those condition, where can I go to bail and can't find any, Pray for my air bag to stay infladed. That seem to happen quite bit since I went back to OC.

I'll definitely let you try my new version of the stingray the (Spawn). You'll be able to hit rocks with it, by the time you get to use it, I'll have repaired it a couble time already.

Esquif Taureau

Post by Michael Miller »

Craig, I have been paddling C-1 for 25 years. The last 7 years I took off. I am looking to get into steep creeking (NH) and have ordered the new Taureau that will take a spray skirt. What I want to know is how does this boat feel compared to racing boats and boats like the Blackwater (which is all I have ever paddled except a Gyra Max.)?
