Finally!

I launched my S&G merganser hybrid with divinycell/carbon/aramid hull and spruce/mahogany/cedar stripped deck during easter holiday.

It paddled beautifully, no weathercocking and great carved turns!
The low foredeck is great for a greenland style paddle but sitting with completely straight legs will take a while getting used to.

Not enough waves to evaluate whether my lower bow was a good idea...

Thank You all for sharing your vast knowledge at this forum!
Looking forward to warmer water!
