Kayak Fleet Evolution Revisited Yet Again

The Guillemot was not as expected. In particular, although there were two hatches (fore and aft), there were no bulkheads! The workmanship was quite nice, but not at all overwhelming ... so I passed. I already had some misgivings about the maintenance required for a wooden boat, so it was for the best. I'll next look at a 2006 P&H Capella 163. This is fiberglass (diolen reinforcement) with skeg, a rather typical British design.























It does not look dissimilar from my SKUK Explorer, but should be more maneuverable. I will look at it Monday, if plans materialize as expected.
