Launched my recently completed Ravenswood today....
Paddled about 6km South from Etty Bay to Mourilyan Harbour and then back.
Perfect weather - sunny day with a light breeze.
It felt a little twitchy at first but I was feeling comfortable in it by the time I returned, this was my introduction to sea kayaks.
Great day..
325 lbs is about the Max displacement for this boat. That has is pretty deep in the water. 300 is probably a more practical displacement.
Stability Factor is 89. A little lower than a Curlew.
Tracking remains to be seen but since it shares a very similar shape to Shad I will surprised if it is not a very good tracking boat. More rocker should make it turn easier too.
