I have an older Seaward Tyee. It is an entry level touring boat that I paddle for fitness.
17 foot fiberglass boat closed top.
I am not using it much these days but I am finding the keyhole or the opening on this boat is starting to get a bit tight.
Not that I am undergoing expansion but it is harder to get in and out with my decreasing flexibility. I can't say this doesn't concern me when paddling in cold water. Most of our water is cold...
I have looked at a smaller boat option such as the Epic GPX. Only 12 foot day tour boat but it would be much easier to handle and store than my 17 footer.
Looks very well made and is pretty light in fiberglass and really light in carbon fiber.
Make sure you read Sea Kayaker's "Deep Trouble". It is a sobering book of kayak trips that go wrong.
Be careful on the water!
