: I kept saying to myself. "Self, you built a little bitty boat
: there!"

: It's going to take some getting used to but I think I am going to like this
: boat. The initial stability it not great compared to what I am used too.
: It feels very tippy! I thought I was going to dump it several times. The
: secondary stability is good but the water is almost coming over the
: coaming before it grabs so it scares you pretty good. Got to get a spray
: skirt for it.

: One thing that really impressed me and Randy, it accelerates like a Rocket!
: At least compared to anything I have paddled. I am not a strong paddler
: but this boat felt like it was really fast. It was obvious that resistance
: was lower than my other boat. I could easily maintain a rather fast pace
: with it. Of course I was paddling by myself without another boat around to
: compare too. We had loaded our boats up from our trip and were testing
: this one.

: Here are a few photos. We launched at the dam and were paddling it around the
: harbor were we launch.

You do have a nice boat there. And you are rather brave to be in it without a skirt.
This board is a wonderful place to enjoy some real craftsmanship. Congrats
