Hey Pedro,

I'll be here indefinately. I'm semi-retired, but looking after a small resort here.

On my boats, I legthened them a little, kept the pinched keel but not as pronounced, changed the bow and stern stem shape and lowered the decks a little. I didn't make major changes below the waterline (just in case!).

Until my kayaks are completed, I'm fishing from a raft. It tracks real well but isn't a very efficient design :-).

John
