Today I took Mizu Uma - Water Horse (Tempest 170) for its maiden voyage on Nicholas Sharon Lake, yes the kayak has a name, . The boat preformed well. It was a bit windy and the ship tended to weather cock (surprised how much it weather cocked), less so with the skeg down but still had to compensate with the paddle. It was about as stable as I thought it would be. I was reluctant to test the edge but I was able to turn the ship with sweeping strokes - so not a problem. I will test the edging out soon.
I am still having problems with the it falling off the roof rack - it slips off to one side and then just goes. I have some ideas about a solution but before I take it out again, I have to solve this issue.
