The first little cruiser constructed from this model is owned by Dr. Russell Jackson of Anchorage, Alaska. Anchorage is situated on Coon Inlet, a body of water well known for excellent fishing. A shallow-draft yet seaworthy boat was needed, for the Inlet has miles of shoals and terrific tidal currents, rips, and over-falls. Since Heron was designed to be a backyard project, construction has been kept simple.
