The Great Auk hits the water!

It’s my wife’s boat so she had the honors. I finally got her out of it and gave it a go. Great boat! Very little weather cocking, tracks great when flat and turns very nicely when edged. Edging is easy and the righting force builds as you lean it over. Very well behaved boat and best of all My wife likes it. In the picture, good buddy Kurt M is riding ‘chase plane’ for the first time on the water. Kurt finally had a go and rolled it many times. After getting home, found very little water in the hatches. It sure eases my mind a bit to know that there are no flaws in the build. Didn’t realize how apprehensive I was until later when I was paddling it.

Here’s a couple of pictures..
