The Cantare is an optimized OC1 design that is efficient in both flat and rough water, with less wetted surface area, resulting in less drag and more control. Cantare has less volume in the hull when compared to other models, which gives the hull a tighter entry and exit.
With a lowered deck, the paddler is sitting closer to the water with an improved center of gravity and decreased windage (in height and length), resulting in more control when in the wind and/or waves.
