Hello All

I came into contact with my first baidarka several years ago. I was
completely blown away. Constructing one has been in the back of my mind
since. I am interested in hearing your opinions on an aluminum frame versus
a wooden frame. I am drawn to aluminum for the consistency of the material
and the giddy sensation I get when I see all those precise erector-set-like
pieces lashed together. I can see a wooden frame being more forgiving, a
little easier to fair. I am most interested in any insights you can offer
with regard to performance differences for the two materials. If you feel
this conversation is too pedestrian for a group discussion please feel free
to contact me directly.

Thanks

Jena Maureen
