I am currently in the process of designing my S&G whitewater kayak. I live in the midwest so there aren't serious rapids with rocks I need to worry about. Mostly I am building this boat to practice rolls in the swimming pool. The pool is fairly small, so I don't have much room to move around in my Merganser 17.
I was just curious if there was anyone out there who has done a similar project. I know Mick Allen has made a beautiful boat "Facetious" which I think is truly amazing. Mine will end up somewhat similar to Facetious, but not quite as extreme on the deck design. Right now my boat is 6'8" with a 26" beam. I am basing my design on the Wavesport EZG, Liquidlogic CR, and Dagger Rx.
If anyone out there has attempted anything similar, I would love to see pictures and hear any advice you would have for me.
