Doug,

Very nice boat! What sort of seas can it handle comfortably?


Thanks very much. We're very proud of it.

It sort of depends on what you call "comfortably." We've been out in a
few 30 knot blows on Pamlico Sound and Chesapeake Bay; on Pamlico Sound
the very short & steep chop of 5' or more made it almost impossible to
steer and tossed all contents around like a mixmaster. We gave up when
the refrigerator flew across the pilot house. Longer waves on the Bay
were not so bad, we could make reasonable progress against or with 6+
footers but it wasn't really comfortable. I had to tie the anchor down
on it's bow roller!

Fair Skies
Doug King
