: Hey Scott, thanks. The boat is designed by Rod Tait with Orca Boats. I got
: him to raise the deck by an inch and lengthen it by 6 inches to a total of
: 17'10" with a 23" beam. I do a lot of extended trips up the
: coast and wanted to be sure I had enough storage for at least a couple of
: weeks. Haven't tried packing it yet so that learning curve is still ahead
: of me!
: I have to say that on yesterdays outing it handled beautifully. Tracked
: nicely with next to no weather-cocking and turned well on edge. She also
: felt surprisingly solid considering that there was very little weight in
: it. I still have some work to do to dial in the fit of the cockpit and get
: it to fit more snugly.
Well, you'll certainly get a lot of gawkers with that boat. Good luck on your expeditions. How far up the coast from Vancouver can you get in a week or two? I've done some chartering in the area and am just curious. We all need to know about good paddling spots.
