Just comparing specs it's shorter and wider than the tandem I normally solo. Last trip, I borrowed KF's Prism. I didn't like it all that much but it really shined in the wind. Times where I'd might hold up with a tandem and two paddlers, the thing plowed thorough no problem. It was an enlightening moment for me yet my tandem has been paddled backwards for a whole lotta miles. Mine is quite a bit narrower though and you didn't give any clue as to your experience. Everything works with the right whatever.... Never had a problem....
