Guillemot"Play" This is the first of the Guillemot line. It is a low volume fun "play" boat. It turns easily with a steering stroke like a white-water boat, yet tracks quite well. This boat is probably best suited for a small paddler because there is very little knee room. My brother is 6' 2" and has a lot of fun with this boat so a larger paddler can fit in it, but it would benefit with a little additional space under the fore-deck. All the Guillemots roll well but this design is the easiest. The low aft deck permits the paddler to leaned way back and easily touch their head to the aft-deck.
