Boat Building Forum
Find advice on all aspects of building your own kayak, canoe or any lightweight boats
: Based on Tom Yost's Sea Ranger and Sea Rider boats. Neither quite fit what I
: wanted so I used those two designs and after several versions here is what
: I have come up with. All the technical stuff looks good. Drag was
: surprisingly low, but I am not a fast paddler so that is not a major
: design goal for me.
: So give me your thoughts and suggestions. I will start by saying the cockpit
: looks tall. I want to mock it up and try it. I do want to be able to enter
: butt first and still get my legs in. Something I can not do with my Ocean
: Cockpit obviously. I could raise the sheer slightly and that would make
: the cockpit look shorter and I don't think it would hurt the lines of the
: boat either.
My modified Sea Ranger looks like it has a very tall cockpit too, but once in the water it looks normal. You don't often get to look at a kayak from the side view, so it always looks over tall.
