Jeff, my first yak was a Caper. While it is extremely stable it
is a nightmare to attempt to paddle it straight. It wants to
wander no matter how good your paddle stroke is. I just met a
female kayak angler that paddles a Venus and she told me that
the Venus was the same way. Another choice is the Cobra
Navigator. I had one and while longer than the Caper weighed
exactly the same and was way better to paddle. I've got a buddy
with a T-13 that likes his a lot. I don't know anything about
the T-11 which is another choice but I would definitely try to
have your wife test paddle a few yaks before you settle on a
Caper. jim

Thanks for the info Saltydog, we did pick up a Venus 11 for her.
My son has Matt S. old prowler 13, I just picked up a big game,
and my other son has a sit in. whew finally got them all, so now
it's time to use them. I think after we paddle around for
awhile, everyone may want to switch to different ones. That is
the beauty of buying used first, you should be able to break
even.
Thanks again,
Jeff

Yeah.....buying gently used yaks is the way to go. I had to go
thru a few before I found the right one for me. Hope you & the
family have a blast. jim
