Hi Mike

without actually seeing one or better trying one it is difficult to tell. It looks okay but it's good to try it for yourself in conditions you will encounter. Otherwise they look like nice boats.

: Hi.

: I was wondering if anyone has any opinions of the Volkskayak? A fellow out in
: Nova Scotia by the name of Gerry Gladwin sells plans for them. He also
: holds courses on the waterfront in Halifax at the Maritime Museum of the
: Atlantic, and has a website at http://www.volkskayak.com

: I am planning on building a kayak this fall, and this is one of my possible
: choices. I have seen a few of these up close, and they look all right to
: my untrained eye. Gerry also markets the Volkskomponentkayak, a 3 piece
: kayak. That is not the one I am referring to, just the normal model. I
: would be building this for small lakes and rivers on the Prairies, not
: ocean kayaking.

: Any and all advice and opinions appreciated.

: Mike
