Dun some searches, but haven't really found any good info at least in my search. I have an opportunity to get a 10 ft 6 in Wenonah Wee Lassie and just kind of wondering if anyone else has one, and have you ever tripped anywhere in one? I know it's made for small hometown waters, but I also have an Old Town Pack that the same thing is said about, and I've been able to trip a few times on smaller lakes in the BWCA, even with its severe limitations with wind and big water.. Would love to hear anybodys review who owns The 12/6 model of the Wenonah?

I'm happy to reply to my own question. I took it out for a test drive today, on a smaller lake, and actually the wind was able to pick up enough to give me some white caps and good chop. I would say that Wenonah is accurate in their advertising, it's a fun little boat for smaller lakes and rivers. It is a quick little bugger, was fairly responsive, pushed through the chop waves, and r floated over some very small rollers I was able to float in due to the pontoons on the lake. Initial stability was sketchy, I slowly got used to it out in the water, but I didn't feel it was super stable, however that might just be my opinion with it, I think it's probably more stable than what I thought. However, I don't think I would pack it down with any gear, for trips on bigger water. It really is made for smaller water, and it was fairly susceptible to the wind. All in all, exactly what they said it would be. I would say it is a great alternative to a kayak, because it is a lot lighter, and much more open and fast. I also tried using a single blade and a double blade, and a double blade is absolutely the way to go. J-strokes were not working well with the single blade. Tumblehome was not necessarily conducive to using my single. It would be worth the money if you were not planning on doing much tripping. If you want a trip, I would agree, it would need to be a backpack on a short one. But it was a fun little boat, just doesn't fit my needs. Incidentally , I'm 5'10 and 160 lb. The seat was really the negative, it leaves a lot to be desired.

Check out the Savage River version - as little as 11 pounds abd sux seat options. One would suit I hope.
