: Very nice. I wish I could portage my kayak like that, but once you

: I need to hurry up and get on to the SOF kayak I'm building. The
: wood is dimensioned and sitting on the rack awaiting chisel and
: plane. It's having to take a back seat to a "revenue
: generating" Stand Up Paddleboard project.

Hi Malcolm,
Try carrying the kayak stern forward, the coaming is lower at the back. :D
