I have to agree with Ross on the stability and tracking of the Night Heron and Guillemot. I also paddled both at the Rendezvous last year. I also paddled the Expedition Single there. The Expedition Single tracks straighter than the Night Heron, almost to the point of being hard to turn.

The three boats offer an nice example of how small variations on a common design theme can produce a different "feel" for each boat.
