The only question I'd have about it being your first boat, the traditional Greenland boats can be a little tricky getting into and out of, if you don't have a perfect roll, the round cockpit likely won't be the ideal. Otherwise the boat should be fine. Don't know what your experience level is.

Thanks for the heads up....I'll make the cockpit size so I can get in and out....

My experience is Nadda, Nil, Zip and Zero....
