Fly rod holder caught my elbow....arm while paddling so I moved it forward on port side

G'day Paul,

I have been closely following your build both here and on AKFF. and enjoying it immensly.

Your skill and attention to detail are second to none that I have seen and I think your lovely Sabalo will be a head turner in any company. (and out paddle most of them)

Bloody great stuff mate.


Respectfully,

mick

looking good!

sweet spot should be just forward of your hips as you sit in the cockpit. Design to be avout 12-16" aft of the floor peak.

Kinda reminds me of my Son, when he got his little pedal car for Christmas.

The only difference between men and boys,
Is the size of the girls, and price of their toys.

Paul,

Very impressive build - what is the reel on the starboard side with the red "Christmas tree ball" hanging from it - downrigger, drift anchor...????

Cheers, Bob

Ha! A downrigger on a kayak, now I have seen everything. That will surely be one heck of a fishing machine.
