This is the sea kayak that I learned in, then learned many greenland rolls in, then used for expeditions - a solo 5-day trip to northern Quebec, a 9-day trip with Mark to Newfoundland, and a 7-day trip with Mark to downeast Maine. The Avocet is nimble, turning on edge easily, and yet is uncannily stable. It is a classic rock-play boat, the design enduring for more than a decade and counting. It's an outstanding boat for smaller paddlers. It breaks my heart to give it up, but I've moved to a 17' boat that can hold more gear for solo trips.
