It felt quite safe, the high ends worked well to match the curve of the wave and the pinned oars make useful rudders while trailing. <br /><br />The hull also seems ideally shaped for taking waves on the beam. It sits flat unless the wave is steep enough to break over the gunnel in which case it starts tilting. <br /><br />Kelvin Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007838299911865964.post-22107516045673662342012-09-23T10:55:35.818-07:002012-09-23T10:55:35.818-07:00Looking forward to the sequel(s) Bruce.

Eventually there will be a story about you too!<br /><br />I might add that the Adirondack guideboat is quite seaworthy for its size. There are some impressive pictures out there of the boats in serious wind and waves: http://www.adirondack-guide-boat.com/category/our-rough-water-department .<br /><br />-BruceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
