Folkboat-style hulls have been crossing oceans alone since the 1950s.
Cheapest boat in its section, and it is in San Rafael.
The bad
No published headroom anywhere we looked; 8.25 ft beam means a tight cabin.

The Pact
We'll always be honest about gear. The good and the bad.
Most reviews you read only tell you what's great about a product. Ours tell you what's wrong with it too — where it fails, who shouldn't buy it, and when the cheaper option is the smarter one.
Every verdict comes from actually fishing the gear, not reading a spec sheet. When we get it wrong, the correction runs as loud as the original take.

Real water, real testingVerdicts come from actually fishing it — not a press release.
Argue with usEvery take is open for fire — here, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube. We read all of it.
