Just a sprint with my shorter Lumpy GP. I'm still trying to work out padding to keep the keel from killing my tailbone and built it as a roller/play boat not expecting it to be fast.

Wow Dan, That's 6.4 knots--very fast. Especially for a SOF. Is that
: a peak speed, or a sustained speed, over distance or time? Even
: in a short burst that's terrific.

: I feel you on the cramps on your cramps. I hope when my narrow yak
: is finished I will either be more comfortable or be able to
: still do cat stretches like I can in my Great Auk.
