Riverboat Rigging Part III

... finally got the 'Firefly' out on the water last weekend...

... great tracking and stability... responsiveness and speed suits our expectations... plenty of room for gear if needed even with the 60" airbags - and we can always trim it down to as small as 32" bags or remove 'em completely... nice boat...

... we like that drop angle seat performance-wise but man is it tight when entering/exiting the boat wearing water shoes/boots - we wound up paddling barefoot... we're probably gonna' replace it with a traditional seat but before we do that we wanna' take it out and perform some wet exit testing - didn't feel like doing that last week - we'll hold out for a nice and sunny 80º - 90º day - have gotten a bit lazy these days...
