Be sure and lash it down well when transporting, Stick.

A friend of mine spent a year or so building a kayak like that. It was handmade, and very nice looking.

Until a knot slipped or something, and it came off the top of his car and onto the highway.

"Crunch." Frown



God bless America.

Definitely. I’m going to be making my own anchor/mount for the front of my Sienna. With the new Yakima mounts and straps it will be well secured. Toyota didn’t really make anywhere to mount in the front so I’m going to make a mount that secures under the hood. I tied it to a piece of plastic for the ride home and certainly don’t want to do that again.

Sure is nice looking. I just bought a "hole in the water" and brought it home yesterday. I'll post some pictures when I upload them.

That does look nice.


"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

The cedar strip deck really is something. I find myself admiring it and running my hand across the side of the yak every time I’m in the garage.

The version I’m building is not quite as stunning as the hybrid version. It is all stitch and glue okoume ply with a darker center section of sapele.

It should hopefully look like this when done.

Beautiful kayak.

Personally, a mast and sail would help matters.

That just might be the most beautiful kayak I've ever seen!

Old school cool (with some modern fiberglass)! I'll stick to the wider varieties that keep me dry! It does look fast, just sitting there, on dry land. Have fun slicing through the water in that svelte craft!
