I do try to be gentle, use docks where possible and it doesn't get drug over rocks- rather picked up and as gently as possible set down on as much sand or a couple sticks for cushioning.
It's been a fun filled return on $500 investment, plus buying a decent sander, sandpaper, replacement bungee cords, deck hatch seals and the Pettit finish is not cheap.
She's a joy to paddle, great straight line stability and according to my GPS I can keep her going at 5MPH for pretty long periods (flat water and no wind of course).

Wow! Just wow!! Talk about a functional piece of art.
How durable are those? We only have experience with the glass and plastic boats. We always are careful, but stuff happens. I would be afraid of doing some type of damage. Yes, I know that those type of boats have been in play much longer, but it still makes me wonder.
Beautiful looking boat.
