That Sea Dart looks like it should be a fast boat, with the long water line and multi-chines. I'm planning to do a Yost boat after I finish my Shearwater hybrid, with narrower and faster being the current goal. Had been looking at the Sea Ranger LC or ST, as the designs with very little freeboard don't appeal. But, one of the builders had commented that it was not particularly fast. I continue reading any user comments I can find, to get further impressions of the designs.

: I see Tom has posted the new design that I'll be working on soon, the 17' Sea
: Dart. Basically a fairly narrow, 21 1/2", sea kayak, multi chine.

: Also noted he's got a new kid's baidarka plan.
