: I don't know how much interest there is but I'm really proud of the way this
: phase of the project turned out. This is the famous precoat photo-op.
There is a lot of interest on my end. I certainly like what you've done...not just the craftsmanship...which is superb...but the innovative thought process in trying something just a little different. I'm looking forward to seeing your boat finished and hearing about all the handling characteristics. Paddled craft designs are fairly task dictated...meaning that the perfect all around boat is very hard to design and build. It hasn't been done yet. I believe your boat will certainly fill a strong niche...even if for just another stepping stone to the perfect task oriented boat (the perfect all around boat may take a bit longer). Anyway...I like your project. Hope to see many more pictures.
