Fast and refined, a very beautiful and responsive kayak to paddle
I've been paddling a VCS Skinner for about a year now, mostly in the Baltic of Eastern Sweden and think it's an amazing kayak design. On flat water the long waterline gives it tremendous speed, the Swede form shape means it turns well and is surprisingly responsive on edge for a boat without much rocker. On waves the finely tapering bow and stern soak up the lumpiness and it keeps it's speed whilst those around you are slamming and bouncing.
The foredeck is quote low but now I'm used to it I can power with my legs off the excellent footplate.
The cockpit is comfortable and I really like the extra long sweetie hatch, hat, gloves, first aid kit and of course sweeties.
I've not paddled the Skinner on big waves or surf, although I know someone who does. For me the Skinner works as a fantastic day boat or short tourer, especially in Scandinavian waters.
