Hello, all,

Wanted to give an update. Over the Christmas break I was able to try out a Coho. It's a really nice boat, but not quite what I'm after. I would love to have one if I were planning a long camping trip, as I think it would be perfect for that. For me, it's just not quite the right boat, for right now.

I had been thinking quite a bit about the One Ocean Cirrus, which also would let me build from plans, which I'm interested in. A good friend who has paddled my Looksha and the Coho, and currently paddles a Cirrus, highly recommended it. I ordered the plans on faith, with the recessed cockpit addendum.

Then I just got to paddle a Cirrus, and I'm glad I ordered them. This is just about perfect. Quick acceleration, good maneuverability with leans, and seems to cruise faster than either my Looksha or the Coho I tried.

I can definitely see a Coho sometime in my future. I did really enjoy it. But for right now, I'm excited to build Vaclav's design.

Thanks again for all the advice and insights!
