Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2021
The hatches are not the height of great design. I suspect they are cost effective for the manufacturer.
I may just be a grumpy old man who is not as limber or strong as in years long gone. I am also comparing it to skin on frame kayaks I have built which weigh half as much. Problem with them is that they do not have bulkheads which makes emptying them after getting wet more difficult. The boat is regarded as a classic and certainly is a better fit for a smaller paddler.
Since there's a modest amount of rocker built into the hull design the Tempest hits a good balance between solid tracking and turning ability. Noticeably better than several boats that I've owned of this length.
One caveat would be that the narrowness of the beam (21.5 in.) requires some degree of previous experience and I wouldn't recommend it for a novice, but, someone with a moderate degree of skill will be able to adjust to the stability difference after a short amount of time if coming from a somewhat wider, more initially stable boat. Once you're dialed in with that you'll begin to enjoy the boat the more you use it without giving it a second thought. Letting yourself roll up and over 2-4 ft. waves broadside will show you the comfort and confidence you can have with it. Just make sure you have a good neoprene spray skirt when you do since the boat follows a Euro design pattern and sits close to the water line. The skeg works well at about 1/2 -2/3 depth in a side wind and only rarely needs to be let out more, which minimizes drag.
In the water I'd give the Tempest 5 stars and only docked one star due to the effort level of loading and unloading from a car rack. Then again I'm not the most robust 5'8" paddler on the planet or the most youthful. Results may vary.
