exactly.
re. the CLC/Shearwater Duck the Penquino is a better paddling boat. The Ducks are less distinct regarding the pivot point whereas the Penquino is a better "point and shoot" boat when it comes to one paddle stroke to get where you want to go. A characteristic that becomes significant in rough water.
If Pygmy/Lockwood were to consider it a large Penquino ala Kruger Cruiser it would make a lot sense for the 50yr+ old non paddling crowd who would be more comfortable sitting with feet below seat. Like a Wenona Prism with the seat 4" above the floor.
