: Although I am still fussing with the seat and do not have either hip supports
: or knee hooks installed yet I can already feel how much more manueverable
: this boat is compared to my glass Seaward. There was an intial twitch
: during paddling but modifying my stroke amended that. Saturday was very
: calm so I had the opportunity to test carved turns and trueness of
: straight lines. Both passed.

: Sunday was 1' chop plus cross winds. Amazingly I had a tough time getting the
: boat to weathercock although broaching waves caused me to brace a couple
: of times.

: I am extremely pleased with this boat and after I get the seat fully
: installed and gaskets on the hatches I should find a lot more play time in
: this boat.

: Thanks to Nick and everyone who posts on this board. I continue to learn
: lots.

Nice work! There's a distinctly SoCalifornia look to the photos. Where are you?
