Blatz: "It looks similar to my Jensen "
According to the specs, it's a pro boat (3x27), so quite a bit sleeker than a Jensen 18 (which is "Stock" specs--around 33" at the 4" waterline). It'll also be much lower volume.
I've raced pretty radical stock boats (Wenonah SCR) in open water--with a deck, they'd be ok for BW. Successfully using a pro boat would require more skill.

Given it's weight it would make a tripping boat, but it rides way too low in the water. I would not want to use it on choppy water. That being said, on flat water or a river it actually gets up and planes. Crazy fast.

Hi... I am considering getting into some racing... I have a Sawyer DY Special, and have owned a Wenonah Advantage and a Prism...
Would your canoe be a good tandem to start trying some racing events? Maybe with my daughter?
Any idea on a price yet?
Thanks.....
