: I paddled it a bit, but without a skirt. It seems fast, maneuverable, and it
: has a really nice secondary that kicks in just as the coaming approaches
: the water while edging the boat. What struck me is the fit. The deck
: underside/thigh brace really made me feel locked in. Yet the keyhole makes
: it easy to enter + exit.

: I can't comment on the skeg, as I paddled in calm wind and no waves.

: The dyed okoume looks really cool on a nice sunny day; in the right light, it
: seems to emit it's own colored glow. Almost metallic. In a way, some of
: the panels reminded me of colored anodized finish on aluminum, like the
: colored MagLights.

: Thanks to Michael and his organization for a fun weekend!

I agree with Dave on this boat. Considering it as my next project but as a hybrid as soon as Michale and Nick work out the details.
