Hi, Eric,

Haven't sea-tested it yet; been beefing up the design at several points; nothing serious, easy workarounds. I'll be feeding back to Murray's and Rick on a couple o' points. Basically, it's a very nice kit - - super light pole, well engineered universal joint, lots of sound thinking went in, as you'd expect, given the designer. My quibbles are quite minor, and conceivably moot. I've righted the boat up on land quite easily; we all know that's no substitute for the real thing.
