While each of the reviewers had a different impression about how easy it was to set the boat on edge, they agreed that the boat turns well in response to edging both for turning and for making corrections to stay on a straight course. The Kap Farvel is not a strong tracking boat, so its response to edging is important in holding a course. It maneuvers well in small chop, turning easily on wave crests and remaining stable. On these waves I had no problem steering down the faces. Releasing the buckles with the release system was quick and easy.
Space is limited.
The only leakage reported was by KC, who noted a few tablespoons of water after doing four rolls. The fiberglass lids and the neoprene covers are all tethered against loss, with the same cord attaching both pieces. My overall impression of the Kap Farvel is a positive one. I liked paddling the boat. It would be a fine boat for an intermediate paddler.
