Dagger Dimension
- Thread starter kerry
- Start date
Looks like it's first ventures will be the South Platte, North Platte and Rio Chama. I'm afraid it would be a real dog in the Baja. Outfitting it now. Need to move a few thwarts, re-locate some thigh strap anchors, and put the knee pads in a better place. Somebody had installed the bow seat backwards.

That is a sweet open boat. I had a Dagger Encore back in the day, they were great boats. Too bad they are not being made now.
That Caption is a really nice boat. I went from paddling a Probe 14 tandem to a Caption and it was a world of difference. Caption was much faster accelerating and smoother in turns. The Probe 14 would spin on a dime though.
I've paddled the Dimension on a couple of trips so far. It's slower than a Starburst but is a very stable boat. I paddled the North Platte from Six Mile Gap at pretty high water with my 14 yr old daughter. It was the first time she had paddled pushy technical water in a loaded boat and our communication skills were not up to par. We dropped over one large pour over to my offside and I thought for sure we would be swimming. To my delight, the Dimension acted as if it was an everyday event and we ended up going downstream backwards with a boatful of water but still upright.
