I am looking for the boat best suited for open ocean use (stability concerns), space for big feet (size 12) with insulated rubber boots on them and long legs (6' 3" tall), enough room for 2-3 day camping trips and tough enough for barnacles and beach rocks. From everything that I have read I am leaning toward the VARDO. I am an experienced kayaker but do appreciate the stability when the ocean gets rough. My other concern is the boat being rudderless. How will it do in contrary ocean, swell and current?
If anyone has comments that might add insight I'd appreciate them. Thanks, Eric
