: Romany, Romany....
: Idont know if its more for the reputation it has, hence the attitude you have
: when paddling it, or for having caught a great compromise boat.
: I looked for someone having plans for something like that, didnt find any,
: only solution i found its design your own trying to have the same paddling
: characteristics....

Hey the Romany is a nice boat for what it's meant for. It is not fast nor has much room for packing for extended trips, not what it's for. It is though very playful, edges turns probably better than 90% of the other designs out there and is very easy to roll. it also has really excellent manners, and is a well balanced skeg boat, something I like and NDK builds them very rugged. Can't argue with sucess.

I've got relatively fast kayaks, a pair now, one I've built, now want something playful :)
