: My latest kayak is a bit of a departure from the sea kayaks I had been
: building.

: It is a TK1, so it had to be less than 4.57 metres long and at least 580mm
: beam with a 504mm waterline beam.

: It is mostly Paulownia, is made from 4mm strips and weighs 8.3kg.

: More details about the construction are here.

Looks very cool, what's the stability like? Does look fast, any comparisons to existing boats?
