Last week I launched my Wahoo FSK. The hull and deck are WRC with Alaskan White Cedar and Puruvian Walnut. The combing and bulkheads are Sapele plywood. The boat was stretched 6" to give it another 12# displacement (212# total). I installed a Stellar footbrace and Smart Track racing rudder. I am currently using a foam seat but I have a Nelo K-1 seat on order. Both will be attached with Velcro and used interchangeably depending upon conditions. The build was completed in 193 man-hours spread over just over three months.

The boat is fast and more stable than I expected. Saturday was my third outing and first race. It was a nine mile course up and back on a technical (winding) river with strong current. I finished middle of the pack against a bunch of 18-20’ surfskies, in 1:36. I hope to be more competitive once I get my stroke dialed in for this narrower boat. A special thanks to Dan Caouette of Clear Stream Custom Water Craft who provided the plans, precut forms and excellent technical support.
