This boat is a great first boat and at the same time is a great boat if you are looking to single hand. Note that Kayla loves large winds and will move quickly!!! Feel the lean and the wind as you go between 5.5 to 6+ kts with your hand on the tiller, feeling the boat as she tells you what she wants.
