In Response To: Any experience with CSD? (Svein Thon)

I can't find it now, but there was a book published by someone evaluating many of the Bolger designed boats. It tended to be pretty harsh upon them overall. It had the Bolger kayak in it as well, and as I recall, it wasn't particularly fond of it either. That's all I can remember, and I wouldn't care to stand by that recollection very strongly. If this Seal Hunter is the one I've got plans for, (external chine blocks, flat tray on the cockpit), it looks like it'd be horrible in the water.
