For occasional use on holiday or midsummer the bright red rubber boat is perfect: it holds and it does not cost much. A little yellow duck behind it and all the other canoes / kayaks to a round encounter a friendly. Without the duck there pitying looks. The control is only possible if the greatest weight sitting behind. Even if the most serious person sitting behind, much more concentration and force must be applied than in a rigid boat. But again: it does, it is quite robust, it is designed to fold somewhat, it does not cost the earth.
Under the premise "play" and "opportunity vehicle" recommended.
