It is fully decked, with lots of covered storage. There are 2 cockpits for the rowers, and a flat midship surface suitable for a tent for 2 people. The aft cockpit has 2 sets of oarlocks so the boat can be rowed by pulling the oars, or by pushing. Speeds of 4 knots were attained during sea trials, and a speed of 3-3 1/2 knots is easily maintained. the owner lives in Toronto, Canada, and plans a trip down the Erie Canal.
