This boat is a Hemlock Kestrel which grew out of the old Curtis Vagabond. It is a very sleek, lightweight lake tripper meant for smaller paddlers. I am at the top end size wise for that boat. It is fast and about as windproof as a canoe can get. It can also be a little sensitive. If you are not used to it, you may even call it tippy. Great boat by one of the best builders ever www.hemlockcanoe.com
