Skin-on-Frame: Triple Baidarka finished *Pic*

Here it is done - finally!
With the exception of the decklines. What a joy to paddle. Light, fast and tracks like a train. Absolutly minimal, minimal corrective strokes are required. It is a bear to turn but where we paddle thats not an issue. The bow design works splendid. Just when you think its going to go under it pops up like a duck. I would guess at around 4 to 4.5 knots. Need to time it next time.

Best regards,

Terry
