Best kayak in its class
I have been using a red Delta 12.10 for sea kayaking in Georgian Bay's 30,000 islands region. Excellent stability, lightweight, turns around on a dime, handles open water waves at 25 km/h with confidence, no matter where the wind blows from. Wiggles a bit more than longer models which come with skeg or rudder. Also, takes some practice to stay the course with 45 degrees stern wind. Would buy it again if I were new to kayaking.

Great little boat.
This boat can handle almost anything. It holds plenty of gear for 2-4+ days. It is super stable but has a very sporty feel. The fit and finish of Delta boats is excellent and the snack hatch it the best invention ever!
