Has not been much interest so I will probably not post much on it here. But I will keep something on my web site. But a quick update anyway.
The search for a Kayak has lead me down a twisted path. I wanted plans for one. Couldn't find what I wanted. Found one close but I thought it was sort ugly. So I wanted to modify it some. Asked about software options to import the boat and just change the deck. Found it and did that. Then I started tweaking the hull some. Started learning more and more and became fascinated with boat design (well already was somewhat).
Now I have finally settled on a design and it is one I ended up designing from scratch. With inspiration from the traditional Greenland boats. Here is the Lines Plans as of last night. I have someone Mentoring me and looking over my shoulder so speak. So we are tweaking the design now but expect to have it finalized in the next week or so.
Will probably order supplies to start building this weekend or next week.
To keep the details it has to be a wide image so I am just linking to the plans rather than posting them.
