Sure rides high in the water! How did you get such a Low Center of bouyancy? HA HA!

: I was sorry not to make it the the meet this year...family commitments. Ever
: been to a 13year old's Bat Mitzva? what a party...thy musta spent 20-30
: grand but definately not my taste!

: I finally finished the bluefin and tried it...I liked it, paddles fast and
: with out fuss, rolls great (for me a Novice roller) and has good secondary
: stability. I am happy with the lines of this stitch and glue boat, looks
: good to my eye. Have to relocate the bulkheads for more storage space and
: maybe a day hatch.

: The detail is veneer edgebanding cut into triangles and ironed on...birch and
: walnut. I did an Osprey inlay on the deck.

: I hope the weather stays nice so I can use it a little before the snow flies
: again. The kids are paddling their own boats so I get to be in the single
: again...Yahooooo!
