I expect Harvey Golden to be our "loser" in the sensible boat fleet category.
Between my wife and I:
Dyson design 5.7 baidarka
VCP PinTail - my go anywhere in any condition kayak
VCP Nordkapp HM - wifes boat
Futura Carrera - race surf ski
Necky Jive - whitewater/surfing/rolling session kayak
Wenonah Jensen 17 - family canoe
Old Town Tripper - freight canoe
WeNoNah J200 - solo racing canoe
2 WeNoNah usca tandems - in theory one to race, one beater for practice
Under construction child size greenland kayak
Coming in the spring - small tandem recreational kayak (probably purchased).
Seriously contemplating - a convertible Kayaks Hawaii surf ski/outrigger canoe
I would buy a used Mako surf ski if I could find one, the price of a new one keeps it as a
contemplation.
