: The Night Heron is definitely sexy. I paddled the High Deck version
: yesterday. I can tell you two things you will love about the it
: beyond the looks. It accelerates instantly and it turns on a
: dime. I am still considering building one and adding a
: retractable skeg for when I want it to track.

: How far along are you in your build?

Dragging a skeg all the time when you want to paddle straight would be awful, might as well drag an anchor on a K1. No point in building an efficient hull then killing the efficiency.
