: Hi, darren...are you building it to use during the World Masters Games?

Hi Robert,

I plan to attend and do the TK1 marathon event (V35) - either in this kayak or another to the same design. I have the lines for a TK2 also, and depending on how I go with my paddling partner we may compete in this too. Who knows, I may even be able to stay upright in a K1 by then!

I'm not 100% happy with this kayak (having done the hull and 'glassing this week) as it's not completely fair - had a few clamping issuew. But it will paddle well. SO I hope to do an impproved one for the WM Games...that won't have a graphite bottom, just to be safe :-)

Are you coming down under for the games next year?

Regards,
Darren
