My first Kayakfoundry build
My first Kayakfoundry build
What inspired this was meeting up ,a couple of weeks ago, with a group of paddlers who meet weekly to paddle about 6 miles in their (up to 3 thousand dollar boats) so I wanted something multi chined. Another SOF...
The result a 17' X22'' with lowered sheer line for wind resistance. We paddle into the wind the first half which is good exercise, the most I have ever paddled at one time, because I'm usually just fishing from my boats....
And yes I'm out of my boat building mind and I need to burn out
