I am almost a 40 years old paddler... not looking for a racing boat for sure ;)
I just need a boat light weighted, easy to carry on the beach or to pick up on the car roof, and easy to paddle in all conditions.
I know I won't go out for long expeditions but I want to feel free to do it anyway.
I would have liked the F1 by cape falcon but I don't need to surf such of big waves and not sure will be that easy to build as there are no cross sections and table of offsets.
Yes the Sea Bee is also a very nice design but I think 15' can be more efficient than 13' (is there a longer sea bee design maybe? I only noticed there is a soft chine version).
So all these things drive me to the sea tour 15, just torn between hard or soft chine version.

Also I love the boats with flat aft deck and fairly plumb ends, like the f1 or Bill Hamm's building style (I saw a sea bee like that somewhere).
I read these more vertical ends (bow and stern) would be faster but wetter. How much wetter?
