In Response To: S&G: Seeking data on Pygmy Goldeneye/Osprey (Lia)

Thanks everyone! I'm getting the general consensus that says that newer Pygmy designs are likely better. Advice noted.

I'd still love to have those numbers from the Sea kayaker review of the Goldeneye, so that I can put them alongside the numbers I have for the Coho, Arctic Tern 17, and Murrelet. Since the hull of the Goldeneye is identical to the Osprey Std, that would let me have that in mind when I demo all those models. I'd like to use it as sort of a personal experiment: I would have the numbers for all four Pygmy models I'm interested in, but then can paddle them and see if they actually told me anything useful or not.

Either way, for a numbers girl like me, it's a fun pastime, playing around with the spreadsheet. And helps pass the winter more enjoyably. :)

But I'm sensing that maybe no one has this issue. Ah well.

Thank you all for the input on the different Pygmy models - I really appreciate it!
