But it wouldn't take much to turn it into a decent cruising dayboat, maybe add a foot to its length and carry the depth of the keelson all the way back to the stern from the cockpit. This would essentially give you a Bering Strait hull form.<BR/>By the way, this boat is a much drier version of a retrieval kayak than the 10 footer popularized by Morris.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154913422010027075.post-66399589269835587742008-04-29T06:40:00.000-07:002008-04-29T06:40:00.000-07:00Wolfgang, did you build your Pt.
