20" wide, 18+' long - it goes easily and fast. Rolls easily. Initial stability is not relaxing, but secondary is very good. It does weathercock some, but leaning is very effective at counteracting that. Yes, it does want to broach while surfing some waves - a skeg might help, maybe a lot.
Limited storage, as designed, behind the cockpit. Decent storage up front, but not for long expeditions.
I'm 5'9", 150lbs, size 9 feet. Cockpit fits me just great, and the back deck is just exactly the perfect height for me to relax against, when necessary. Looks darn good, too! I really love mine.
The boat has been discontinued by CLC, but I built it from plans in Chris Kulczyki's book "Stitch-and-Glue Boatbuilding." You can too! |
