: Another beautiful Et boat, and it looks great on the water.

: My unsolicited, uneducated observation of your photo tells me you
: nailed the cockpit location. The bow is a bit out of the water
: which seems to be the way the people who really know baidarkas
: set theirs up.

: ~Bob

Since I raised the fore sheer by just over an inch, and left the rear, (foot room), It does look about right.

I left the cockpit a couple of inches longer than I usually do on this one so that I can move the seat forward a bit if necessary. If it needs to back though it will mean major surgery.
