Accelerated well to catch passing swells. The large hatches make it easy to load the kayak. The polyethylene bulkheads are welded into the kayak. Only VS reported water getting into the aft compartment. TS thought he could easily pack enough gear in the Capella for a week-long trip.
Some people assume that because a kayak is plastic it is inferior to a fiberglass boat.
The Capella will change their minds. You get a lot of kayak for the money. It is sharp in appearance, well made and handles wind and surfs well, and has one of the best cockpit designs I have seen in a kayak. We are very pleased with the review and would like to thank all of those involved with testing the kayak. The slider itself now runs along a stainless steel bar and subsequently is much less likely to be kinked.
