Scadden Escape and windy conditions

[pontoonman]

[quote flygoddess]The oars are a definite PLUS in the wind. They will move you for sure, no doubt. Requires very little upper arm strength too. I have rowed a whole LARGE pond before and didn't feel the burn or anything. It takes very little to move these BECAUSE, your bum or the bottom of the seat are not touching the water, like on a SFC, or FC, or ODC, etc.[/quote]

YES, not touching means less surface friction, leaving close to the equivalent of a pontoon, but lighter, so that should make it faster!

Does this no contact seat bottom design hold with HEAVIER passengers/cargo? Or does one move to the higher capacity designs (renegade?) to keep the seat bottom from touching with 300# of passenger/cargo?

Thanks,
