hi all;
i took out my s&g guillemot for the first time today. i am very impressed with it! i've had a lot of time to stare at it up on the mezzanine floor in my shop and i thought it was way too tall in the bow. shows what i know! it was totally nuetral in a pretty fair breeze. the greenland style paddle was also great, only fluttering when i wasn't paying attention to what i was doing, and being lazy with my grip.
aside...on the lake i was on a kayak class was being conducted. one of the instructors was in a beautiful sof baidarka and useing a laminated greenland style paddle. i didn't want to intrude on the class so could only look from a distance, and didn't get a chance to talk to the instructor. gorgeous boat!
nick; i want to thank you very much for putting your s&g up for free download, and for the wonderful design of the boat that is now my favorite of my little fleet. i will send you a pic when they are developed.
serious grinning here
daren.....
