Floated the Green River Gorge last Saturday as part of the Green River Cleanup. Lots of people, lots of rafts, and lots of fun. I've floated the gorge about 30 times in the last 10 years and it's a treat every time, rain or shine. The new Jag was a kick too; a great addition to my boat collection. Mine is the new, improved ( 2007+) model. It tracks much better than my 14X24 Sotar, and even surfs better. Not quite as fast to spin, but that's to be expected due to the 16X24 size. The new hull shape and rocker make it a very sweet ride.
This was the try-out for running the Jag with my old frame (a 12-year old Ron McLay design) as I will be running this configuration in a couple weeks on the Middle Fork. So I tried out both 10' and 8.5' oars during the run. Both had advantages, but I think I'll take the 10 footers when running with a load. I can't say enough about the Jag. I'm just very glad to have it, and just pleasantly surprised at how fun it was.
