I paddled one on Elba a couple of years ago. Very good tracking, turned
OK with some edge. I don't know what model I was in, but it was long
and narrow, like 18'v21" (~5.5mx53cm?) Secondary stability was fint,
but there was very little primary. Sitting in fairly calm water with
just a couple of inches of chop, if I laid the paddle across the
cockpit rim and let go of it, it would rattle like a snare drummer. It
was the first boat I had rolled with a Greenland paddle and i didn't
miss any practice rolls (Pawlata, sweep, and C-to-C), so it seems to
roll pretty easily. I honestly don't remember much about the
construction, except it seemed solidly built.
