Comments from paddlers

LeRoy Nooter - St. Louise Missouri.
(Sea Wolf single)

"Well, it's been 1-1/2 years (took that long to find 70 hours) since I bought my boat and started building it. But I finally put it in the water for the first time on Saturday. The first few minutes were a little jittery. Then,I settled in and it was wonderful. The Sea Wolf tracks well, but even more surprising is how maneuverable it is. With only slight leaning, I was able to turn in a smaller circle than my shorter plastic boat. I really enjoyed every minute it took to build it, now to enjoy being on the water.
Thanks again for your help when I called. I've learned a lot in the process, and would not be afraid to do it all over again".

Clark Tuttle - Ramsey N.J.
(Thunderbird tandem)

"Let me state that the (xxx) tandem can not even begin to compare to the Thunderbird. The Thunderbird is a kayak, the (xxx) is a ship. Even their new sports tandem did not appear as elegant as the Thunderbird. It's like comparing an eighteen wheeler to a sports car. Their backrest system is a far cry from yours".

Michael Zeeb - London. Ontario.
(Sea Wolf single)

"I finished it a couple of weeks ago and have had it out on the water a number of times. It's very stable, fast, tracks like an arrow, and an all-around joy to paddle".

Bob Matthews - Hanwell. New Brunswick.
(Sea Wolf single)

"I must say I am very pleased with the kit. It has been a lot of fun and the material and instructions have been excellent".

Jim Kriecha - Glendale. Arizona.
(Sea Wolf single)

"I would like to say thank you for the memories that you have created for me with your kayak. I had a great time building your kayak and I would just like to say I will be telling everyone that wants a kayak to build a Sea Wolf".

"My Roy Folland Kayak is complete and in the water. It runs straight, is stable and turns easily. Oh yes, it looks good to. A GREAT FEELING!!"

Ernie Dingeldein - Pineville Louisiana.
(Thunderbird tandem.)

"Now I am certain I made the right choice in selecting a Roy Folland design because of the design's precision and the well thought out instructions. I was amazed when laying out the bottom panels, they fit the pattern precisely. In fact during fitting, I had incorrectly grabbed the wrong wood for the 1-1/6" spacers and because the resulting shape did not comply my error was noticed and corrected prior to the epoxy. Your design and methods provide confidence for a novice like myself. I can't imagine assembling 21' long bottom and side panels using the other methods I investigated".

Michael Mullen - Gaithersburg Maryland.
(Sea Wolf single)

"I am interested in purchasing the Sea Wolf since seeing it at the Wooden Boat Show in St. Michaels Maryland. Of all the kayak kits That I have researched yours are the best. Enjoyed our conversation on that hot Sunday on the bay".
