    Chatham 16 Poly I bought a Chatham 16 Poly last summer after making the mistake of buying a Prijon Barracuda earlier that year as my first kayak. The Prijon was very fast and for me, very unstable / tippy. It was a whiteknuckle ride everytime out in the Prijon. I was afraid to turn around to...

    Prijon Barracuda Right Boat for Novice?

    Thanks to everyone for their input. For now, I'm going to give my barracuda more time and work on practicing my skills before I use my boat as a scapegoat. I'm going to try to perfect a solid roll so that a wet exit / solo rescue is not my default option in the case of a capsize. Happy Paddling :D
