I wanted to build a Baidarka along the lines of
my NORTH
STAR, but with less rocker. This project is the
result of converting a George Dyson 17 Baidarka from
Skin on Frame to a cedar strip construction. I am bigger
than George Dyson, so I lengthened the boat by fifteen
inches and raised the fore deck to get more foot room.
To aid construction I also rounded the chines. My thanks
to G.D. for encouraging me to mutilate his plans for the
sake of curiosity, he is a great man. ----- Back to Etienne's homepage
