In Response To: Strip: "King" photo's? (Jason Koldewijn)

: Does anybody have any "king" construction photo's posted out there
: anywhere? Would love to see some pics of the finished boats.

It's new enough (plans out in January), that I haven't heard of any finished boats except for the original prototype.

: Also how does the boat handle?

Like a wet dream. Oops...this is a family forum. Umm...very well!

It's a neat design--hold it level and it tracks very well, lean it, and it turns on a dime. A lot of boats (particularly production models) are hyped like this, but it's really true here. Great secondary stability. A boat that beginners can quickly feel comfortable in, but advanced paddlers can play like a Stradivarius violin. :)

I need to build one, too, but won't have time to finish it by R2K2.
