In Response To: Re: Kayak-ified Surf Skis (Robert W)

Thanks Robert. The dimensions at this stage are 559 cm x 53 cm and with the rounded surfski hull the waterline beam is 48 cm on the design waterline. Draft 10 cm, displacement approx 125 kg, volume 395 ltr, wetted surface 2 m2 and Cp 0,576.
As usual with my plans the LOA is easily changed by increasing or decreasing the station mold c/c. I haven't yet thought about different versions (beam) – I am open for suggestions...

And yes, the Orca theme would be tricky to apply, and even trickier to maintain when scratches and dents have to be patched. But life isn't supposed to be simple, it is supposed to be interesting ;-)
