Not on this board!  I'm looking for a second touring yak.  That Barracuda is too twitchy in a wind. <NT> rroberts New

I think it's you that's too twitchy in the wind. <NT> slipperyrock New

could be. <NT> rroberts New

Eat more pizza!  I find that gaining weight makes all my boats steadier in the wind.  Or, get a Pyranha Speeder. <NT> ezwater New

The Barracuda is really built as a flat water racing boat.  Zero primary stability.... rroberts New

Seriously, that boat is designed to behave best when carrying some gear as well as you.  Few touring/sea kayaks are ezwater New

I've been know to put gallon jugs of water in the compartments that did help... rroberts New

Speeder link inside.  Might be even more "too much of a good thing."   ezwater New

THAT's kinda cool.  Sort of a sport-touring-wildwater-speedfreak yak. GCA_Steve New

I'll demo one if I can find it, but for the money, the Prijons are tough to beat: adjustable thigh braces... rroberts New

Isn't VERY waterproof kind of like "a little pregnant?" julesagogo New

Basically yes.  A lot of the "waterproof" hatches on touring boats seep from water... rroberts New

The wind problemis that the Barracuda is 17' x 21 wide and has a somewhat V shaped hull. <NT> rroberts New
