Might Be Getting.....

It seems to be a cross breed with a large shallow capacity inside unlike a thin sit-on and with good breadth for stability.
Potentially has quite a few advantages .......... especially if you stay dry !!!!

Do you stay dry   :shock:

Anyway my sit on top is probably at least or perhaps more stable than my pals canoe if that helps anybody. Please no comments about one is better than the other I really like both, only reason I dont want a canoe is cause my pal has one, and I was nearly stupid enough to capsize it, so dont stand up and if you do you need very good balance. So far standing up on the sit on top I havent nearly capsized it but it also requires good balance  :

Those sensible wild fishers among you will know it is stupid to stand up

If you go to the link for Nucanoe I gave above it has videos of folks standing in these casting quite the thing  !!!!! Mind you there is not much wind on inland American lakes !!

Standing in an open is ok if you practice Poling A Canoe Up The Snoqualmie River

Standing in an open is ok if you practice

For "practice" read "fall in hundereds of times, freezing your nuts off, bruises, loosing the canoe and kit, looking like a real prat and generally suffering". You do look cool once you have mastered this apprenticeship, but it is a heavy price to pay.

As long as there is nobody else around to laugh at you........

Haha Ken its not that hard to do, the first time i tried poling i traveled up the full length of the river Balvaig with a mate showing me whats whats. Was still dry , warm and bruise free by the end of the day, I did have a drysuit on so maybe i managed the looking like a prat bit  :roll:
Jim will be sticking to sitting or kneeling to start with anyway i would imagine, lets not make this sound to hard.  Ian

Bobfly, I havent tried fly fishing while standing up ! Yet 

As long as I'm not too far away from shore, car and home in that order  :shock:
