Thanks for the kind comments folks.
With much trepidation, considering the 1000+ stitch holes in her, I finally managed to get the Selkie and myself on the water.
I was absolutely delighted that not one single drop of water passed through to the kayak interior.
I'm really happy to say that she feels very light in the water, she's fast and stable and tracks well.
More sea trials next week, then the adventures begin!
