This is a quick video that combines comments on the Esquif Adirondack 12' Solo Pack Boat, the Hunter and Harris Ottertail paddle and a short section of the Ipswich River.
I did paddle the boat with a double bladed paddle in true pack boat fashion, but forgot (old guy) to include comments in the narrative. It handles very well. I used the bow thwart as a foot brace - if double blade is what you usually use you'd probably want to install a set. The seat is hung low enough to be comfortable using the double blade, but high enough for me to kneel wearing a pair of neoprene water shoes - it would be a challenge if the had heels. If you're a person who paddles kneel, make sure you fit.
I'd appreciate any feedback and will try to respond promptly to any questions.
