That is quite the kayak. The computer modeling shows it to be very efficient at cruising speed.

The long overhangs are perhaps excessive and could be shortened by 25 cm each for storage considerations. It does have a regal quality as is .

Good work , keep us up to date. Thanks for posting.

: Hi,

: I thought to upload couple pics from my latest building. This is South
: Greenland kayak from 19xx. It's fairly long and has long overhangs. It's
: very pretty in but takes room to storage. It's also very light to paddle
: at around 7 km/h (4.35 mph). This one is also the first kayak by me that
: will go for sale.

: lenght 590cm - 19.4 feet
: width 51cm - 20 inch

: Material is pvc-foam covered with epoxy fiberglass. I'm aiming the weight to
: be around 15-20 kg (33-44 pounds).
