: very nice hans
: 20.5in x 18-10 or so, looks like the low version would be a rocket. probably
: barely needs that rudder too. can the rudder you're using flip up and
: around - what am i seeing?
: i see where bobby sees the s&g heritage, but must too rounded - strip process
: on a strongback? and round sheers yaks in the future? i bet so - your work
: is evolving.s&g, production, rounder rockets.
: altho you're not the builder i wish she'd put hatch lips under(for a flush
: hatch), & made the hatch side lines follow the gap between the dark
: and lt wood-its a natural. (Hey, if you extended the hatch groove further
: along the sides and inset a small gate slide latch with the little handle
: folding down the 90 hatch line -it would be another flush hatch latch
: condition, but real strong too)but its nice and i'm a jerk for mentioning
: it.
: whats next? does your work just evolve around design or do you build these
: prototypes too? Are you playing w/ any other types of accessories,
: hardware, or yak possibilites? do you work as well as play or just play?

Hi Mick
Well frankly I do more and more work designing boats to people I don't have the time to build anything nowdays. Right now I am designing a new fiberglas kayak to the same company as before. They are very pleased the old one :-)
And I am also doing alot of designing to the canoe builder Wermlandia kanoter.
And I am talking to some other companys to concerning kayak/canoe designs. It seams that there are rather few kajakdesigners in Scandinawia at least cad designers.
But it is imposible to make a living out of Canoe designing so I also have a regular work (that takes time)
But so far so god
Hans
PS The drawing shows the standard version of the kayak
