: Hi All,

: Has anyone paddled both of these boats? I wanted to try and get some input on
: comparison. I love the lines on both boats! I've only briefly paddled an
: "Outer Island" and it felt very good for a narrow boat. It think
: both look good for a "greenland style" rolling novice.

Both are great for it. I would choose them based on other qualities. For instance, the NH is a VERY maneuverable boat, despite it's length. The OI is a stronger tracker.

Be sure to check out Nick's future plans area. There's a Greenland version of the NH available now. A friend of mine is building one and should be starting to strip it soon.
