Dagger Edisto - any good ???
Bo Eide
As a relative newcomer to the sport, I would like to buy a not too
specialised kayakt, able to explore both light tourin at sea or lake,
and slow rivers. From reading catalogues I found that the Dagger Edisto
seems to me to be a nice compromise kayak, able to do both.
Or am I wrong??. Is it in this world as any other, that compromises
really leaves no one completely satisfied.

Bobo,
I own a Dagger Edisto. At first, I was very disappointed because it doesn't track well. Then,
I put a rudder on it and it is a BEAUTIFUL boat. I've owned many kayaks, and it is my best all
around boat. I really think Dagger ought to fix the boat by adding a skeg. (You could do that
easily with a piece of plastic or aluminum pop-riveted to the stern). Anyway, I've had mine on
lakes, rivers, and the Atlantic Ocean. It handles all of them well, and is a great compromise
between many factors.

According to Dagger's website, the Edisto now has an optional retractable
skeg. Wish I had one on my boat, too (Dagger Magellan).

I've seen that on their site, but their catalog doesn't have that. In fact, the skeg seems to be
only available on their Vesper model.

with a skeg. All the holes and stuff is there. I have a
Vesper and it doesn't look it it would be easy to fit a skeg on
it. By the by, my wife loves the Edisto.
