[Guest]

Hi there !

First, I have no experience with kayak...
-Had a motorcycle accident
-Broke my pelvis
-Soldered sacro-iliac articulation
-Cannot sit for more than 10 minutes in a kayak.

I love canoeing...
- Cannot canoe in St-Lawrence and discover Quebec's Cote-Nord
- Too much wind + current
- Able to change leg position

Interesting building technique.

I wonder hard it is to predict the shape in the design phase?

Thin CM hull + CM ama + a sail... I'm sure you get the idea...

They sell a (homemade )video wich explains their CM technique...
