Tom, since you're around, I'll interject a question on the Sea Dart. With its length, fairly narrow width, multi-chine and long waterline this looks to be an efficient and fast paddling design. True? Since it will be more of a straight tracker, does it respond at all to lean turn attempts? How would your rate the volume as a day boat for a 135 lb. guy? I've looked at your other designs, and the other longish/narrowish candidates seem to have too little freeboard for me. Thank you.
