Skin-on-Frame: Finished boat and greenland paddle

Finished my SOF F1 yesterday and took it out for first paddle with Brian and the rest of the class. Gonna be my boat for a while!!!!!
It amazes me that I built it in seven days and it fits me!! It also floats and handles like a dream. Brian can roll a F1 with amazing ease. Do you think it could be the paddler?

I still have a CLC Arctic Hawk in my garage to finish up, but I think the lower weight of the SOF means it will be the one to car top to the water most of the time.

SOF has me convinced it is the way to go. But then a stripper is quite nice and there are the Yost boats, so I guess I should build one of each before I make up my mind.

Happy paddling everyone.
