....we beat the wind very nicely with a small drift sock, worked perfectly...

few years back we rented the SR18. that same year we used a very lightweight drift sock that i had dear old mom sew up with nylon and nylon webbing. bought a largish one from basspro and let her use it as an example. while it didn't fit every situation there were some times that it did work perfectly. i hate getting blown around but overall do prefer the larger boat.
