Hi

The Kayak data is ; LOA 5.4m LOA 0.54 Prismatickoeff. 0.52 Design bouyance 130 kg. The boat (20kg) on the pic is out on a daytripp with me (85kg) and some stuff (10kg). The kayak has the same speedy lines as my exersice boats but with some more rocker and beam. The boat can do lean turns very nicely. And iff you dont lean the boat she tracks nicely. I have done some data testings also with John Winters (Matt Broze) Kaper witch indicates that the boat is OK at lower speeds but real fast at 4-6 knots. Yes my first paddle is a Wooden paddle this one is just a loan

The Kayak is made off 3mm luan Wall panels, Polyester (of good quality) and 220gr glass fabrics and the total weight is 20-22 kg.

Iff anyone is interested I can send DXFs and data sheets
