: That could be a while here in "the great, big, broad land

Am I imagining it or is there a bit of twist/winding to the frame on that boat? I built a modified "Nikumi" from Yost a couple years back that ended up having a pretty horrendous "bend" to the front of the kayak, at least 5 degrees off-center at the bow. Made for some awkward paddling. Hopefully yours will work out and your daughter won't have to deal with that. I like the color choice. Easy to see. My daughter's boat was a very similar shade of yellow. Purple accents, rather than black, though.
