Hi. I like it very much. It was very easy to build and cheap. Canoe is very, very stable and you feel really safe. Most of the time I'm paddling solo and there is no problem. I didn't made the big keel under the boat so it's very easy to turn and maneuverable. I think there is only one problem. On the open water when the wind is strong because off the high freeboard the boat is very wind depend.
