Yes, I agree, I also bought this boat to haul lots of people and crap for parasitic kayakers (just kidding;  I truly like rowing the gear pig).  I just never dreamed the Aire would handle so poorly lightly loaded.  I am comparing it to the Maravia I've been rowing which handles great both lightly and heavily loaded.  I've only had it out three times since I bought it and only with 1-3 people aboard.

When you rig your 156R for a multi day trip, do you have the oars forward of center?  More gear in the front than back?  Or do you keep the trim equal front and back?

I really appreciate your advice!

Thanx,
Jo C.
