So you're in Fiji building beautiful Kayaks.
Life is Good!
Just curious, why are you building a fleet? Rentals?
Ian
btw John, your building blog was one of my first reads.....am building my first boat. Very helpful. Wasn't it your garage with the seven boats and the Subaru? My wife nearly fainted.
: I just completed my 5th and 6th sea kayaks here in Fiji. Allow me
: to share a few photos.
: These hulls are very similar to the Cirrus design from One Ocean
: Kayaks. It's a good all-purpose kayak for long trips in rough or
: calm waters. The deck is a Greenland style for low wind
: resistance and a good bait-cutting station on the foredeck. It's
: made from 4mm marine-grade plywood.
: The outfitting features on these boats include a reflective
: perimeter line and a bow line for short tows (e.g.; returning a
: kayak to a swimmer on a windy day). More details in messages to
: follow shortly. Also, carrying toggles with very short lines, so
: they won't hang in the water or twist around one's fingers.
: John
