Great looking boats, I like the light color of your spruce.

Thanks for posting the photo's, Its good to see that Seattle isn't the only one with cold rainy weather.

: Last sunday a new ShootingStar was launched, christened and given away at a
: little village, Torsång, at the DalaRiver in Sweden.
: She was christened to GERSIMI, the same name as one of the daughters of
: Freya, the fertility godess in the Nordic mythologi. Gersimi means
: "jewel"
: After that I gave her to my daughter Disa.

: Gersimi is built after Rob Macks plans for ShootingStar with some minor
: modifications. She is built with swedish spruce and a little mahagony,
: weights in at 17 kilo. This type of kayak is rather unknown in Sweden and
: she draws attraction and many questions was asked about her origin.
: We have tested her in a swimmingpool for stability. She passed with honour.
: There was too many children and polokayaks crowding around us so we
: couldn´t make rolltest and so big manouvres.

: She is very easy to paddle and tracks well.
: Last year Duva was inaugerated and christened on similar occasion. Duva is a
: Panache, another Rob Macks concept. He makes very beautiful kayaks and
: they behave superb in the water. I don´t wear hats but I too take it off
: for Rob!
