      Any other Savo Lovers out there? I would love to hear from you.

        It looks like a very comfortable boat, is it stable? Is the displacement listed capacity, or the dry weight of the boat?

          Hello Jerry. Thank you for inquiring about my Savo. From you questions, it sounds like you are concerned about its stability when empty of cargo or when full. I keep her anchored in our small fresh water lake most of the time. When I want to row, I step in with one foot to the center, one hand on the far seat rail and gingerly sit. When empty, she is quite rocky but I have never put her gunnel under. I weigh 160 lbs. Because she has higher freeboard than a CLC wherry, she is more susceptible to the wind. To reduce the effect of the wind, and improve tracking, I add ballast. When full of camping gear or a guest, stability is improved as well. As far as displacement, I think it is dry weight but I am not well informed about that aspect. I am rather new to the boating world. Check the website: https://puuvenepiste.fi/
          You might also contact Ruud directly. He has always been responsive to me. I live near WoodenBoat in Brooklin, ME, a boat building heaven. Please contact me if you would like to talk more. I guess we are proving OCH quest to link boat lovers together.
