The first glass versions of
the Anas Acuta had concave bottom "panels" – probably imitating skin
forced in by water pressure. This produced an odd behavior that was not
appreciated by all. I wouldn't call it sluggish, more like
"self-willed". The bottom shape was remodeled after a short production
run.

The AA was rejected by Colin Mortlock for his North Sea expedition,
Scotland-Norway – too small and not sea-worthy enough (probably the
first version), which led to the development of Nordkapp.

About Njord-Nanoq speed: Nanoq has a slightly higher calculated speed,
but in trials at sea there is very little difference. It is primarily in
maneuverability and control that Nanoq wins. And Njord still has an
advantage when going long distances with camping load in different
weather conditions – none of my other kayaks can fully match the overall
speed and comfort in the long run.
