: Jon,
: I have some ideas for dealing with cockpit and deck. The 24" beam is
: actually fine for kids, they are usually more stable than adults,
: especially in a flat bottomed boat like that. If it gets too wide they
: have a hard time paddling. The length should be okay for bigger kids.
: Shortening it shouldn't be too much of a problem, as it is such a simple
: design. That rocker should make it easy to turn, but without the skeg, it
: will track like a whitewater kayak.
: You might also want to check out Glen-L's Kidyak, shown in the pic below. It
: is 9' by 22".
: Roy Underhill also has plans in his book (The Woodwright's Ecclectic
: Workshop) for a kid's canvas kayak that can be built in an afternoon.
: It could also be adapted for plywood construction.
: Mike
Hey Mike
What would you guess on that picture? Late 40's or 50's? Warhawk influence and whose grandfather still combs their hair like that.
