Have you by any chance been able to paddle Jay Babina's Outer Island? I'm looking to build a boat this winter; right now, I'm looking at the Outer Island and the Night Heron and I would like to get some comparative info on the two, from a handling as well as a construction standpoint.

Thanks, Dennis
