: My latest, VARDO. 17 foot by 24". The goals were to build a
: stable boat suitable for a new paddler and could haul camping
: gear when needed. Took her our today for a test paddle. She is
: not going to set any speed records but she is very comfortable
: and roomy. Not as high volume as I had expected but I am well
: pleased. It paddled very nicely.

: I swapped boats with Randy so I could snap some photo. I joked with
: him and told him he is becoming my model. :-)
