Hello Gordon, The kayak is a Sea Eagle 330 which currently costs about $300. It will carry two adults. I really like it as my dinghy because it deflates to a fairly small package -- say about 2 1/2 foot by 2 foot bag. It will stow in my M-15 under the cockpit seats. The paddle breaks down into two sections but will also stow in the bottom of the kayak and is held in by the bow and stern "deck." Generally it is easy to paddle but I would like a better seat to paddle distances. They do offer different seats. Going from anchor to shore is fine though.
When cruising I tow it behind where it usually behaves itself. In fact I was towing my two daughters in it on my Memorial Day cruise. The only difficulty I have had was on the Isle Royale trip when the storm blew in that you see in one of the photos. Winds were very high and kicked up a steep, short chop that capsized the kayak while I was towing it. HUGE sea anchor! Fortunately it was very easy to pull it in and deflate it -- three large vents open and the air quickly departs. I then just stored it in the bottom of the cockpit while I rode out the storm.
