Grassy Flat 16 got wet today. No finish and the deck fittings not sealed…….but it was great! It is my design using Ross Leidy Kayak Foundry software, it is a river kayak for use around here. No rocker and a fairly pronounced stern make it track exactly the way I wanted. The river was a little much for a maiden voyage, 15 mile an hour wind with gust up to 25. The waves were mostly around two feet with a few three feet coming over the coaming. We paddle a creek off the Ohio and I got some flat water paddling in. The boat is very fast, I look forward to getting it out on the lake I frequent this week to see how it is opened up for some distance.
