I think the biggest problem of Point65 website is the scarcity of details about their boats. Not even basics such as waterline width or length.
Prismatic coefficient, total volume, center of buoyancy etc. would be nice as well.

I'm not trying to defend Point65, but they seem to be providing about the same amount of info as other commercial kayak companies. (Compartment volumes should be provided; P65 is remiss in that...)

At any rate, the Freya is an intriguing boat - does anybody know if there is anything resembling it on the market?

Freya's 'old boat' : Epic 18X, is similar

If not, how about Nick or Bjorn design one - I would be the first in line to buy plans.

Contact Bjorn!
