In Response To: Strip: Fast Stripper (Ken Katz)

I don't know anything about this design personally, but Renton Hunger's website claims that his Celeste design is fast. Its 19' x 21", maybe a bit wide for what you have in mind.

: I am looking to build a fast stripper to use in local races on San Francisco
: Bay. I have built 2 Outer Islands, a Shooting Star, and a couple of other
: kayaks as well. I have had pretty good success racing the OI, but I am
: competing with longer leaner boats that by design are built to go fast
: such as kayaks from West Side Boat Shop, Necky Looksha etc. I love my OI
: and it is a fabulous all round boat that is fast. My SS is great but by
: virtue of its length is not a racer. I think it would be fun to have an
: attractive stripper that is designed to be competitive on race day in the
: "fast traditional" class. I imagine something under 20ft and
: around 20" beam or a bit less . Has anybody tried Nick's Razor Billed
: Auk? Any other suggestions? THANKS!

: Ken
