Side rescue yak--Picture 1 *Pic*

Hi, I am glad to be back after computer hell problems but now everything is fine. The Yak looks terrible and the fine finishing comes later on. This is about the amount of water flooding this boat must have for it to work as a self rescue that won't turn over when you climb in from the side. The water tight side compartments sink into the water and become pontoons.
