I have a spica, and it's somewhere in the pacific right now, on its way to california.. Zach will have it at all the races for people to demo. I used the Spica for the second half of last year and it's an awesome boat. It's a little hard to get used to, I'm still getting used to it, but i feel like even though its supposed to be a flat water canoe it really surfs well. Especially when the swells are coming from one direction and just sort of lineing up behind you, it'll catch those waves and track really nicely.. holding them for ever. I'm fairly positive there has never been a Spica in the California ocean, so we have to see how it does, but it should be pretty perfect water for it. It's also really really comfortable, probably the most comfortable canoe i've ever sat in. Anyways, make sure you come down to some of the upcoming one man races a little early and there will be a Spica there for you to try. I'm sure Zach will have more to say on the subject as he knows exact specifications etc..

thanks for the information...will definitely check out those demos.

mahalo guys!

The Pegasus sure is a beautiful canoe! Someone told me that some part of the rear rocker or some other part of the canoe was being modified to make to canoe narrower by some 3" or something like that to reduce the tendency of the canoe to nose into the water on a swell. The pics indicate that some modifications to the rear of the Peguses were indeed recently made. Any information about the modifications and the reasons for the modifications?
