: The Night Heron is definitely sexy. I paddled the High Deck version
: yesterday. I can tell you two things you will love about the it
: beyond the looks. It accelerates instantly and it turns on a
: dime. I am still considering building one and adding a
: retractable skeg for when I want it to track.

: How far along are you in your build?

Btw, I can even paddle my plastic squirt boat in a straight line, takes more effort but it certainly works and it's wildly quick turning, unlike any sea kayak. Takes technique not stuff added on.
