ONLY way to dissuade charging for demo days (ridiculous practice) is for the public to refuse to attend. I certainly would.

Very nice work indeed…nothing else paddles like wood and canvas. ENJOY!

Clever idea….don’t think I have seen that done before. Let us know how it works! Paddle on!

Didn’t mean to rain on your parade if you are truly interested in the Egret, I loved mine but just never viewed it as a traveler. That video of Mike and Marilu shows the boat used to it’s original purpose and it just doesn’t seem to fit your original description of what you want to do. Agree...

Not really the boat for your intended usage. Designed by Mike Galt as a small sport tandem. Wide. Continuous flare. Slow. Nice for short day paddles, birdwatching, etc but not for covering distance or carrying a load. https://wenonah.com/Retired/Egret.aspx OK for tandem FreeStyle play (there are...

Really nice solo at a very nice price! Someone better snap this up…unfortunately I can’t.

Great info Glenn, thanks.

That amount of added weight will make no difference in stability…especially the cherry trim as it is at the top of the hull. Aesthetics is a personal choice. Time spent paddling will achieve the desired comfort level. Old axiom….The lighter the hull the more often it will get used. To me...

Own Wild, paddled Dragon….Wild is what I call quick— fast acceleration. Dragon may be a bit faster when driven to and kept at hull speed, just depends on how long you want to paddle at that pace. At 250# I still find Wild fast enough, very playful and responsive. It would be my choice in your...

Outstanding preparation….enjoy your voyages!

Sorry to hear that! Best wishes for a quick, complete recovery.

Not in attendance for years now. CEW would no doubt explain the “inside circle” to teach uncorrected forward stroke but thought that too tough with words as it is difficult enough for most of us in person!😉 I am a kneeler so I paddle 99.9% on one side of the boat in flatwater, with the primary...

Catch as far forward as possible without lunging forward, apply power in the first 12 inches or so of the uncorrected stroke. Stop before your hip and repeat. Switch when direction starts to change. As with all strokes, correct practice and time will improve results. Simplistic explanation but...

Looks like it’s for a mast…there should be something on the floor to hold it in place….

Thanks for letting us know….it’s well deserved. When Elaine and Bob first came to FreeStyle their passion to improve was evident. I was fortunate to help teach them at the beginning. I do remember Elaine was very nervous about heeling the boat, but if you have watched any of her videos you can...

Welcome to the joy of solo paddling. Bit of a learning curve, but completely worth the effort to endure. Welcome to the site.

Gotta love Dave’s boats. Great looking…paddle well…outstanding construction…what more could one ask? Love that sage color. Congrats and enjoy.

Not sure there’s anything better than fresh walleye…I’m salivating😉
