On to round 9 test float complete
It floats. It paddles. Its tippy as all get out, but that’s a feature, not a bug.
Does it need adjustment? Yup. I need to move the cockpit back a couple of inches. I can also add a strip to the chines to raise the volume, and I am tossing that around some as she does sit quite low in the water. I need to move the cockpit back to raise the bow. Both bow and stern sat pretty level, but I want the stern slightly lower with the bow riding a touch higher. Here is a fuzzy view of it

As it was set up, I didn’t want to push to hard as she is tippy and that open cockpit area would gulp water if I tipped too far. She paddles easy though, tracks straight (too straight if you can’t edge, which I couldn’t with that wide open top.). Can’t wait for the real skin and a skirt (and nicer weather) so I can really learn what she can do.
Do I have video of it?
Yup.
Commentary is via my cousin. 🙄
