Looking for additional impressions of the Focus - haven't paddled one but have heard good things. Apparently the hull is basically the Synergy hull, but the Synergy had a reputation for being a bit lethargic on flat water but great downwind. Is the Focus reasonably fast on the flats? Faster than the Synergy? Any sense of how it compares with the Swordfish? Also, do those thick gunnels allow a close catch for the paddle, or is there a lot of whacking of the paddle? Any thoughts appreciated!
