How's the Guillemot 17 in the water?

I'm building a Guillemot 17 from the offsets in Nick Schade's book and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what this boat feels like on the water? Boats I've paddled and liked are Pygmy's Coho, P&H's Capella, and Current Designs's Extreme. How does it compare to these? I've seen many pictures, and the boat is beautiful (can't wait to finish mine), If form follows function, this boat should be a dream on the water- but I was hoping to hear from someone who has had experience with it firsthand. Thanks! (By the way Nick- and I can't overemphasize this enough- EXCELLENT BOOK!)
