From one Storm owner to another, congratulations. Looks great! I'm happy to hear you had plenty of room for camping gear since I'm planning to camp with mine too.

: Finally finished my One Ocean Kayak 'Cape Ann Storm' in September, and took
: it to Voyager's National Park in northern Minnesota for the shake down
: cruise. It is a fast, seaworthy kayak and I had no problem carrying a
: week's worth of camping gear/food/fishing gear.

: The plans and instructions are excellent, and building went very smoothly.
: The carbon fiber coaming and hatch lids are quite elegant, and very
: functional. Compared to my first kayak (an LT17 okume kit), this kayak is
: prettier, faster, more responsive (it has less primary stability, but
: great secondary), easier to turn, and it gently rides over waves (vs
: plunging through them). The hull is cedar, the deck is redwood, the white
: accents are pine, and the black accents are African wenge. Hopefully the
: link to pictures will work---my first attempt!
