In my search for a fast kayak I was put off by the 3+4 k prices and sought a new design. In talks with Nick soon after and the results are:

Yukon 21-3/4 inches wide by 18' long. It has a low wetted surface area, full bow and a nice cut away for paddle entry. It will have a rudder with footpeddle controls, two hatches and two bulkheads. WRC and 6 oz glass in and out with West epoxy 207.
I am planning to post some building pictures to a web site with some hints for stripping and building. Hoping for a early June launch and to run the Blackburn. I will post updates and answer any and all questions.

Have built several fast boats and love the cross section views. Nick can you posts your basic line drawing to show the profile? .....and it will be available for demos in so NH
