If I ever get it skinned I will let you know. 14' long by 22" beam aluminum
frame, upturned bifurcated bow, flat backdeck/raked cockpit, one less
stringer( Dyson style), center stringer is fatter and pronounced enough to
create a hard chine for carved turns and control in big surf. Its the boat I
will paddle in the rocks and caves and surf when I want to play with the
glass "coaster" paddling folks.
