Launching: Windy Launch *Pic*

Just a quick note to thank everyone for their contributions to this BB. Without it I would have been lost.

I started the kayak in mid May and put the final touches on it last night. Around 5 months and 300 hours to complete. I still have to build the rudder yet. I did install a rudder block to make installation easier later.

The launch was a windy one with winds on the way back of 15-20 MPH and some serious swells/chop for a maiden voyage. For those of you from the Bellingham, WA area, you know how windy it was today. This kayak is quite impressive, fast, and plenty of secondary stability.

Anybody know what boat I'm paddeling? Not that it's anything unusual, just curious if it's recognized.

Thanks again!!
