The kayak was launched yesterday, Oct. 6, 02. The boat paddles like a dream.  Very stable, accelerates quickly, tracks straight as an arrow and turns quite easily. I am a novice kayaker so I didn't put her through all of the paces experts could in the calm conditions of the launch but I could make her turn just by leaning. I can't wait for more challenging seas. The seat fits me perfectly with no modifications, and I feel nice and secure in the cockpit.

I found the whole building process quite enjoyable, from opening the box to putting on the last coat of varnish. Your instructions were excellent, and except for a few misreads on my part, everything went exactly as described.  I would not hesitate to recommend your boat to anyone.

Attached are a few photos of the launch off Jerico Beach, English Bay, Vancouver. Thanks for the experience. 

I was out this morning in False Creek. Not a cloud in the sky and dead flat calm. One of those mornings that make you glad to be alive. I was out just paddling through the marinas looking at boats and watching the morning evolve. The kayak maneuvers around the various marinas and anchored vessels almost by itself. I am extremely happy with this vessel. Oct 29, 02
