In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: Time to finish my SOF *PIC* (barry boyette)

After a year of building, off and on, it's finally in the water. Paddled a couple of miles Sunday afternoon and it was great. The little skeg that was formed at the stern makes it track like a rail. In fact, it doesn't turn like I expected it to. Edging helps a lot but I've got to get more confidence and miles before it's second nature. Primary stability was as I expected ie... a little tippy but got better, Secondary was fine. It is all of what I expected and more. The kids were in from college and after seeing me on the water, they were surprised, now I've got to build more boats. :)
