To that boat I have but one word ....... day-um. It looks great!

By the way, you say that sweeping back up to a layback on the back deck is a long way from rolling. I disagree. I'd say it's a long long way towards a roll. The number one killer of noobie rolls is bringing the head up first, and it happens during sweeping back up onto the rear deck. Recovering from balanced braces is a first-rate learning progression step to rolling.
