Re: Cape Fear adventures
Great video and it supports what I reported in my paddle report. You can hear the paddle strokes but there is zero hull slap in the Cape Fear hull.
BTW, your boat build was my inspiration to go with the Cape Fear.
I'm considering another one in the near future (after I finish MY Honey Bee fishing boat).

Jacko, Preacher....Cheers.
Preacher, I'm chuffed you liked her enough to sway you toward the CF.
I like the look of most of Matts designs but the CF just has that little something extra I reckon.

Re: Cape Fear adventures
G'day Col.
Thanks. Put in was at Bellbird Picnic Reserve off Yarra Boulevard. If you have a Melways, it's map 44 K3. It's not named on the map but is the "picnic area" next to where it says Yarra Bend Park. Hope that makes sense. Its a nice little spot. It's about a kilometre Nth East (as the crow flies) of the Collingwood farm and about 6 ks by river, with Studley Park Boathouse and Dights Falls in between.
