mfrankel Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Cape Falcon recently started selling SOF tandem plans. I think they are the only tried and field-tested tandem SOF plans except for the Gentry Chuckanut. The plans are relatively expensive and require cutting and bending a lot of ribs, which is harder than just cutting a few frames. But beggars can't be choosers. I built and paddled the Chuckanut with my wife for a number of years. It is a great boat, particularly for beginners. It is over 30 inches wide and stable as a barge - but inexplicably fast. My wife graduated to a solo, but still likes the tandem for longer paddles. Having gotten used to a solo, she is ready to trade a little stability for a narrower easy to paddle kayak. The Cape Falcon seems to fit the bill, except I think it is too long for maneuverability and garage storage. There is extra room between paddlers which I will shorten. It will be my next build absent a KudzuCraft alternative. P.s. Great quote from Abyssdncr's buddy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abyssdncr Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Another bud snapped this while me and the daughter were out enjoying the end of a day. There's something about a tandem that connects two people that a pair of solos just can't touch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
