Scale down a Njord... *LINK*

In Response To: Strip: Fast kayak for smaller guy (Ken F)

Have you thought about scaling down a design? I recently built a Bjorn Thomasson Njord for a local racer of small stature. He's 5'-5" and 120 pounds. The base Njord is real rocket of a sea kayak. It's over 18 feet long has a design displacement of greater than 220 pounds. Bjorn scaled it down by about 7% and it now fits him beautifully. He might be able to do something similar with you. I know my customer is very happy with his.
