Thanks Dave I haven't paddled a SOF yet. The details are 17'4 by 20.5" it is a swede form hull shape with less rocker than the guillemot. I used a secondary chine from the foot brace beam back to round out the chines some. That should make the waterline beam about 20". I also have a Pax hybrid I built from CLC plans. It has a very narrow beam about 17" or 18" at the waterline. I am pleased with the weight about 32 LBS. I am looking forward to the launch.
