Hi John,

It just kept getting better since you paddled it at SSTIKS. I'm sure you will like the fine tuning. Rear coaming height will be 9.5 inches. Coaming was moved forward 1.5 inches to match the current balance point. New coaming mold should be done Monday. I think the final dimension is 17'3", width 23.5". Looks like mine is going to come in 44-48 lbs.

I see you are signed up for the Deception Pass Dash. You are welcome to try mine or Sterlings then.

Best,

Reg

: Reg,

: didn't quite have enough to put it down on its lines, but was
: still impressed. I'd like to see what the final tweaks
: accomplished. Let us know when you get it out and float it.
