- I have a Phoenix Appalachian, now about ten years old. It is a large-
- volume one-person touring kayak. I haven't given it a lot of hard
- knocks, but have done 5 to 7-day river trips in it almost every
- summer, as well as local rivers and lakes around Cincinnati.
- It has a bit too much rocker for working out on a lake, so I fitted
- it with a homemade rudder resembling the Seda rudder, which helps.
- I've found it a fine boat for river touring, VERY stable, almost
- impossible to upset (note that I said"almost").
