Project Information



























This was my winter project. Just had the maiden voyage and I managed to fall into the lake on entry of the kayak the first time trying not to scratch it, quite comical. Wet as I was I got back on the horse so to speak. The kayak tracked very well and I had a great time.

fantastic craftsmanship on the build, look great too.

I showed the pictures of the kayak to a pal of mine who happens to be a boating enthusiast. His first comment was, "I can see why he fell in" he reckoned it was a question of balance?? According to him, the top cab opening should be covered over so much to encompass the knees which lock beneath the top to counter the action of the paddling?? His view not mine.

Anyway, looks great you should be proud.
