: Hi Bill,
: Thanks, you built the Sea Ranger didn't you? If so what did you
: think of it.
: That curved top is a laminated masik, much more comfortable and
: stronger as well.

Hi Clayton,

My SR is a bit overlong (about 2' extra), I scarfed the gunwales and decided I liked the shape so made really long stems to use them, but otherwise it's the same boat. I really like it, it's fairly fast and has amazing secondary stability. Have to lean the boat till the water is up onto the skirt before it loses secondary stability, not something you're likely to do by mistake ;)
