I have really lucked out, lately, by building experimental boats that end up handling just great. This very narrow - by modern standards - 100 yr old canoe design by Rushton is, thankfully, another winner! Very stable with either one or two novice paddlers in her, but also fast and easy to paddle. I'm very pleased!

Here I am, trying her solo - sitting on the forward seat, but facing aft.
