Kudzu Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I think I have decided against the Baidarka style and stay with more traditional Greenland styling. It will most likely need a rudder so I went with the plumb stern. Still just looking at this idea but this seems a viable design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodman Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Nothing but time behind the computer hay! Looks good, I bet it pushes 18' ln length... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilotlon Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Looks like a nice design, Jeff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudzu Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I think it is around 19' as it is, but it is far from final. I am torn on the length honestly. Longer could be narrower with the same stability while a little faster. I would like to take advantage of having twice the horsepower but this needs to be a good all around boat. Plus if you go 20' or longer there is a really good chance of it not fitting in a lot of garages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DURRETTD Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 ... Plus if you go 20' or longer there is a really good chance of it not fitting in a lot of garages. That's the sort of expertise that explains why Jeff makes the big bucks ... or should make the big bucks. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfrankel Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Thank you for taking the time to do this. Your design is cosmetically the same design I have in my head for the kayak I am presently building. Including the plumb stern, (to reduce the length). Since I already have a C-15 to get through this season, I intend to trash the frames I just cut and start over with your plans when they are ready. if you are looking for a guinea pig, I will even assume all risk and build a prototype. Please, carry on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
