Hope your temps are much warmer than the are getting here, you're gonna be spending some serious time swimming I predict :)

I've not tried the sliding seat boats yet, the people I've talked to say it takes a little while and alot of swimming to master them.

I'd really like to build a little keel boat, not quite so athletic, but can be skinny and fairly fast and a bunch more relaxing.
