True, I should have reference Bjorn Thomasson and the kayaks as Black Pearls. These two were at a demo day I attended this past weekend and not built by me. I'm using up all my patience on the strip version of the BP

: The Black Pearl is a design by (Sweden). It was
: designed originally to be strip-built (I've done four of them)
: and is customized to fit individual paddlers. Builders have
: subsequently modified the design for S&G and SOF. Those
: modifications are not detailed in the plans.
