Wow!I I finished my Osprey-Std. late this summer; what a great boat! It's everything I hoped it would be; light, fast, and easily paddled in a straight line. I'll use the money intended for a rudder for something else now (maybe a wetsuit...). I've used it out on Long Island sound and Narragansett Bay several times and I love it (especially in some nice ocean swells). last but not least, it's a beautiful craft. I' actually a danger on the highway because everyone honks and waves! Keep up the good work!
The boat [GoldenEye Std] is everything I had hoped for: stable, maneuverable, comfortable and FAST!... with a 10-12 knot quartering wind and 12-18 inch chop, the boat goes like it was on rails. It will spin in its own length when using an extended paddle and has no surprises when leaned....."
