C1 Slalom Boat Recommendations
... Though I have little recent boating experience I've been a long time viewer of this forum and it sounds like from other posts that the Galasport Loco in the basic lay-up may be an option.

Re: C1 Slalom Goons... need some advise

... to come closer together. You haven't indicated you height and weight, but judging by your problems with the Fanatic cockpit and your comfort in a Loco, I'm guessing that you may NOT be a small paddler. This might also be a consideration in what you choose to do. I'm not certain of the design weight ...

Slalom newbie -- typical issues and questions
... the opposite way (knees out and feet in) but this boat does not seem to fit me that way. The one time I sat in a more recent design (a Galasport Loco), I found it much more comfortable. The cockpit rim on the Loco is larger than the Fanatic II, so my thighs did not touch the rim, my knees were ...
