: I think you can say tree time´s your lenght for the lenght and one fist on
: each side of your hip for the width. give or take;)
Hi! Thanks for your reply. I checked out my normal boat using your, and found that it was quite a bit wider than it needed. This has probably warped my perception of how it should fit. So when I re-checked the Nikumi, it's just a bit wider than a fist at either hip - At 5'7" (On a good day) and 150, I'm not a big guy. Guess I've got nothing to worry about, then!
