BIF-16
This kayak is loosely based on the CNM-12212 single chine Aleut design Tom has built some months ago. It is very fast for a 16ft kayak and is much more stable than it looks. With 28deg deadrise and very generous rocker, it tracks beautifully but can carve a quick turn. It compares favorably with his Lowie Museum LM2-14886 in stability and turning, but is faster. This will make a great workout boat.
LOA - 16ft 2in.
Beam - 20.5
Weight - 25lbs.
Construction Time - 75hrs.
