In Response To: Launching: Nikumi 19 *LINK* *Pic* (Clayton Plunkett)

Hi,

I have developed original offsets of Nikumi, but it looks too small in size. For example rib/station 4 is smaller than my foot /and im not tall/. Any advice about it, please? Thank you very much. Btw: I looked at your pics and it seems to me that your baidarka is deeper than original nikumi.

: Hey Paddlers

: This is a shot of my new Nikumi 19 I recently finished. This is at
: the finish of the Phatt Water Challenge, A 42.5 mile race on the
: Mississippi River. It was October 10 sorry it took so long to
: post. I had finished it the day before and the first time out
: was a long distance race.
: Tom Yost talked me into building the Nikumi 19 for this event and I
: had a blast building and paddling it.
: This baidarka is quick and low volume definitely a high performance
: skin on frame.
: If you look you may notice the bow is a copy of the CNM12212 from
: Harvy Golden's web site triditionalkayaks.com. I can't take
: credit for this idea it came from Dave Gentry. Thanks Dave. All
: comments and questions are welcome good or otherwise.
: The picture did not come out so here is a link. I don't know what I
: did wrong. Anyway Thanks Tom Yost and all who contribute to this
: forum.
