Greetings, I'm looking for websites on the Baidarka design.
Any recommendations?
Any plans on line?

Have you seen this?
http://www.guillemot-kayaks.com/Buildin ... fsets.html
Do you prefer strip, stitch & glue, SOF or a folder?

A couple of more suggestions...
http://www.laughingloon.com has 3 strip baidarka designs. I bought the manual and plans for the Shooting Star. You can follow the build of a shooting star here: http://dashpointpirate.typepad.com/the_ ... index.html
And of course it's a good idea to get George Dyson's book "Baidarka". He has some building information in his book although i'm not sure it's really all that useful. It's a good book though. Perhaps it even deserves the term "quintessential."
This probably the easiest way to compete a baidarka: http://www.yostwerks.com/NikumiPaddle6.html

Yes! It is transparent. It's skinned with a clear vinyl. Not super durable, but it is super cool.

Nikumi
Brian,
Love the pictures - somehow the clear skin looks better in the water than I expected. It must be cool to see what's under you.
I've been thinking about building some SOF's for members of my family - Is the Nikumi style of build easier/cheaper than a ribbed design. I want to have my kids help and build maybe 3 at different sizes. I want them to be inexpensive, but not junk.
Thanks,
