This is a stripper I designed for myself. She is 5.5m x 0.54m and influenced by Zimmerlys Baidarkas. The wind is the biggest problem were I live so I made the profile low and enough draft (lateral area) to keep the course. And so far she feels nice. I like to race so I vill add a small rudder just for trim.

The inside space is enough for a weeks trip

She is build by Wermlandias (Henrik)
