I got a chance to take a short paddle in Wenonah's Wilderness Sat.

It takes to leaning OK,,,nice mix of initial and final stability,,,a bit wide paddling for me, but not bad from a kneeling position. I used a straight blade. I'm guessing a bent shaft and sitting with feet on the foot brace it might not track real well and you'd be busy switching sides. Better with a j-stroke and straight blade IMHO.

Would have like to jump into a Merlin II, but a demo wasn't available to compare.
