launch on coniston try 2

Posted by ray on Jun 20, 2005

Wow!!

24 paddlers from tynemouth canoe club in the UK witnessed the launch of this new ch17. What a fantastic day.

After spraying champagne and blessing the boat we started to paddle.

She exceeded all of my expectations. She tracked straight, rolled, edging was spot on. Best of all was the way she silently glided through the water. Without doubt this is the best boat i have paddled. The feeling of contentment is undescribable. I have to pinch myself to remind myself that i built this boat.

Thankyou folks. Witout your help, advice and support, i doubt whether this would have been possible. I will send more pics later.

All the best
