: 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.

Great looking extremely low freeboard boat :)

Looks kinda like my Sea Ranger's freeboard when I'm in it, darned near a submarine in any chop.
