Hi Peter,

Thanks for the response.

: My High Deck Night Heron is at the 80% complete stage so I haven't actually
: paddled it yet but if I had my time again I'd use the low deck forms for
: the front half and the high deck forms for the rear.

That sounds liek a good idea - the curve at the cockpit seemed steep so that's why I wondered if the high deck would look right. I like the idea of front low/rear high to get a smoother flow on the deck, so will look into that.

: Good luck and hope you get down to Tassie one day.

That's definitely the plan...would love to circumnavigate it if I had the time, but if not to explore some of the coast and lakes. I went fly-fishing in the central highlands last year but was kayak-less...won't make that mistake again! :-)

Thanks,
Darren
