Scott Pettigrew Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 I finished my Ravenswood Low Volume a few months back. Just took it for a paddle today for the first time; taking advantage of 70-degree weather in November. The boat is for my son who is about 5'7" and 145 lbs. I think it will be perfect for him. I'm closer to 5'10" and 170, and it felt like I was probably pushing the limits. Felt like I was riding very low in the water. Otherwise, she paddled very nicely. My son wanted blue, and since I was using the two-part urethane from the Skin Boat Store, I searched for a pigment to mix with the urethane and get the color my son wanted. Below is a snapshot of what I used, and although I don't think it's exactly what he had in mind, we agree that it looks very nice. The skin is 840 X-TRA TUFF BALLISTIC NYLON. It's very easy to work with and tightens right up after soaking with a garden hose. Stays tight too. Here she sits next to my Vardo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
