Strip: launch of night heron *PIC*

ok....

finally finished my night heron high-deck today. launch is at 10:00 AM tomorrow.

this is a modified high-deck with the deck re-drawn to preserve all the knee height of the high deck but substantially flattening out the deck center-line... in a style inspired by the petrel. the coaming is also stretched a an inch and a half to allow me to pull my legs in/out while still seated.

retractable skeg provided by superior kayaks and deck rigging inspired by the team at red-fish.

stained nutmeg brown with a polished varnish finish.

thanks to all forum members for help on this project.
