... loved as at 70 yrs old I like the stability in whitewater and find that I use the same leans to turn my boat and eddy hop. I also bought a used Hornet that has totally replaced my zealot in playing in gates. It feels like I use all the same techniques as in my zealot with far more stability. ...

Thanks, I think I will pass, what I'm really looking for is a 3.5 meter race layup slalom boat.

Cheers

Aargh!

Aargh, yes, the Acrobat came from you. I had a lot of fun it it for about 5 years or so I think. The Millbrook is a Hornet. I don't know what the layup is but it is not heavy - it weighs about the same as my River Elf Storm Chaser. Vann Evans had it built by Kaz and I think it is ...

May be interested in the lower volume Millbrook. What is the layup like? Is it a heavy boat?

Thanks

Hey, I know that Acrobat. I think I modified the cockpit when I had it.

Acrobat is sold.

All fun boats I’ve enjoyed but not getting enough use and time to pass on. Millbrook Hornet is in excellent condition. The fastest cruising c1 I’ve ever paddled - as fast as my Fanatic. Would be a great c1 race boat like for the Gauley Animal or for cruising. $600 ...

... to. 1. River Elf Storm Chaser - nice and comfy but not fast. Great construction and a fun boat. One of few boats I bought new. 2. The Millbrook Hornet that I bought used is as fast as my old Fanatic, and fun to paddle - not super comfortable with the rounded hull but a really fun and fast boat. ...

A few options depending on what you're looking for: Millbrook Hornet (narrowed cascade; literally. Nice boat). Composite Millbrook Amoeba (think high volume slalom boat; probably my favorite "big volume" boat). Composite River Elf Storm Chaser (composite ...

... designed Viper C1. Both great river running boats that play well. But you are all mostly familiar with them. So what other gems are out there? The Hornet is a decent boat. As is the Descender. Folks are picking up on the Storm Chaser these days. But the boat the sticks out in my mind as a "great" ...

wildwater I tried a Hornet a few times over the years. It is nice and fast but I could never get comfortable in it. The rounded hull tends to tighten the knees at the spread I like so either i have to raise the saddle or paddle for ...

Jim, it is great to get that glass Atom in use again. I test paddled it also when I purchased my Hornet from the same seller last fall. Mike W, I have a used Storm Chaser for sale should you be interested and yes it does surf well. It is a really cool boat but a little ...
