In Response To: Advice? - Got the racing bug, need fast kayak (Bevlynn)
I'm not a kayak racer but I have been looking for a fast boat as my next project. Take a look at the Shooting Star. It is a Laughing Loons boat by Rob Mack and I believe it came in second in a race. Several people are now building it but as far as I know, Rob's boat is the only one built so far. The several people that I have read that have tried it out say it is fast and tracks well. It is 16 1/2' long. If this boat were built of light weight Northern White Cedar in 3/16" thick strips it would be very light and fast.
