More details please? What is that?

I though I might want more rocker. I like squirrely boats, and I can always add appendages as needed.

I always liked the way the bow of some sailboats punch through waves, but on a kayak it might be unpleasant. One of the reasons for going with thin plywood on a frame (skin on frame, like a fuselage of an old plane) is so that it can be made cheap to minimize losses if my ideas are no good.

I am not ignoring input from you guys, it will probably influence th final outcome, but I may go against common wisdom in some regards just to see what happens. I learn best from mistakes.
