: Hi all,
: Last night was the launching of our Waters Dancing Solace 16XL's. They were
: built in Norwalk, CT and launched in Fairfield, CT. I also have a link to
: pictures of the actual building process if you are interested. Great
: boats, great design. Yee-Haa!

: John Scalzi and Geoff Kooris
: Fairfield, CT

I've been considering this design for a while (or the new 18)... Can you give lots of details on how it handles, cargo room etc. What kind of paddling you have done with it. etc. I'm looking for somthing for tripping on the rivers up to two weeks. I'm worried this has a bit to little rocker for my liking, when playing in the current.

So please get out there and get lots of paddling done... so you can get back to us. :)

Oh yeah, Nice, Very nice job guys.

cheers

Myrl
