: I have an almost exact (from Zimmerly) copy of an aleutian baidarka (in
: composites) with transom and all. Even with fairly heavy load the transom
: is actually above water line, so water line is quite conventional.That was sort of my reasoning for trying the transom stern on my boat. People have said that the traditional Baidarkas had a transom like stern, but I thought it was really fairly conventional below the waterline. I wanted to see what it would be like with a stern that really had a transom.
