Launched last weekend, and paddled again this weekend. The SW Sport tracks nicely, manuvers well, and over all is very satisfying. Of course this weekend I ran right up on a rock and scratched the bottom. Touched up the varnish, and it looks OK. I'm not a fish so I won't see it when in the water. My next build will probably be a Petrel.
I am attempting to post pics. Not sure if it will be succesful.
No pics. I will try again tomorrow
Dave - it appears that your pictures are at PhotoBucket...

How'd you get those pictures on there. We were paddling in Wawayanda State Park in Vernon, NJ. The picture I didn't take was the one of the bottom after I hit a rock. Nothing a little varnish couldn't cure. It was built to be used. Thanks for the compliments.
Very nice Dave! Hope mine turns out as smooth. Starting the stiching this weekend.
Wow, I live in NJ and I didnt know that there were beautiful spots like that in the state! Thanks much for publishing the name of the park. I am building a Shearwater Hybrid now and I will have to bring it up there and check out the park (Hopefully not the rock though!) Great job by the way. I hope mine turns out half as nice.
Beautiful boat! Bow and Stern lines when you carry on the roof please! Hate to see it hit the road.
