: was interested because the extra width of the kayak.

Hi Steve,

I built a GB last winter and have had it out on calm, flat ponds as well as a recent multiday trip on Lake Superior. It's extremely stable, capable of rolling and tracks well in cross winds. It's not as fast as some other designs, but in general I'd say it's a very good design. And a fine looking craft to boot. Now as far as the abrasive nature of the designer, well... ;)
