Yep - she floats.
For this I thank my friends and supporters for their invaluable assistance:
- John Knights
- Ian Smith
- Bill Waite
- Tony Freeman
- Lawrence Geoghegan
And thanks to many others for their support and encouragement, especially Claudia and the kayaklings.
Although the kayak is seaworthy, it is incomplete.
The hatch covers leaked a bit during the sea trial - so there are improvements to be made there.
Yet to be installed are the grab handles, deck lines, compass, tow anchor point and, someday, a bespoke sail.
But the great realisation is that she is a dream to paddle along our beautiful south-east Australian coast line.
