Shearwater Baidarka

Greetings all,

I'm seeking information from anyone who has built and/or paddled the Shearwater stitch & glue baidarka. I'm mainly interested in comments on tracking, handling, roominess (for size 12 feet), volume (for touring), but also any comments on how the boat goes together in construction. I think it looks very cool on Eric's website, and am seriously considering building one (probably the 19', though the 17' is a possibility).

Any opinions/comments can be posted on the board or emailed to me. Thanks in advance.

Fred
