Lee-

I havenot yet had the time to build a double baidarka to my own plans but have finnished the drawings.

I expect the double will handle like the single baidarkas i've built; tracking straight and fast through all wind and waves. The singles (at 17 and 19 feet) have very long waterlines and low profiles so they tend to bury the bow abit before surfing. the double will definitly need a rudder, the singles could use one too in many conditions.
