This is the first kayak that I built. It is an 11 foot PBK 10, had an 28 in. beam and 3 in. draft. Being so short it tended to yaw a lot when paddling. In the short but sometimes high waves of the Lake of Two Mountains it behaved wonderfully. It bobbed like a cork and I remember that it was a fabulous experience paddling among big waves.
I have seen a PBK 18 craft on the lakes around Haliburton Ontario. It is a good looking kayak and performs as well as it looks.
ReplyDeleteI have just ordered plans for the PBK 10, and hope to get building in late March of this year, 2016. Where I paddle chop is not usually an issue, depth of keel is at times. Looking forward to communicating with you some if possible. Thanks, K
