: I'm looking ahead a couple of projects, but I'm going to be
: building a tripping boat soonish. I pack lightly. All of my gear
: is super-light and small. I'm looking at the Guillemot
: Expedition Single or the Thommason Designs Njord. A review of
: either kayak from an owner or someone who has paddled them at
: least a bit would be good. There aren't many Njords around, I
: don't think, so I don't think that there would be many people
: who have paddled both, but it would be best if someone has spent
: time in both kayaks and could comment.

: So let's take capacity off the table- My concerns are speed,
: handling in general, and handling in difficult conditions.
: Either/both would be equipped with a really big skeg, so
: tracking is not much of an issue in comparison to turning.

: I know at least some of you have built a North Star- can you
: comment on a North Star for comparison to either of these
: kayaks?

: Thanks-

Hi Mike,

I'd ask Dan Caouette, pretty sure he's paddled both.
