A man after my own heart. Very nicely said, Et!

: I actually can't imagine why anyone would want to copy a factory
: design which is inevitably going to have compromise built in, in
: order to accommodate the biggest range of potential customers.

: There are so many beautiful shapes and sizes of kayak available for
: us home builders, and we can tweak them to suit our unique
: wants. This is one of the great benefits of kayak DIY: one can
: have the boat that is truly custom fitted to our height, shape
: (round is also a shape), weight, ability, and its intended use.

: Happy paddling
