: RL-1 had its maiden voyage at the Newfound Rendezvous. I was very pleased
: with its performance and handling. I'm looking forward to getting to know
: my new kayak - more paddling tomorrow!

Beautiful work Ross - as always.

Besides some of the America’s Cup design teams, you’re one of the few naval architect’s who have created their own design software then built a boat from that software. Quite an accomplishment.

Does the as-built boat float on the predicted DWL? Hard to tell from the picture.
