Here is kayak design number three from my friend Todd just launched yesterday. It is sanded but not yet varnished. Design details are; swede form, moderate v in the hull with generous flare, low back deck, semi-soft chine, ocean cockpit, 19.5 feet long, 20 inch waterline. The deck and hull are made from red cedar. The wood had lots of worm holes in it so he has been referring to it as "Wormwood". It rolled fine for me even though I was banging around loose inside it. Cleaves through the water rather nicely.
