http://oneoceankayaks.com/index.htm is the URL of the site someone said John Winters recommended. With a few niggling exceptions I too recommend this site for those interested in clear well illustrated information on kayak design. I especially like the well illustrated description of hull design terms and hydrostatics at http://oneoceankayaks.com/smhydro/hydro.htm. The page on picking a kayak http://oneoceankayaks.com/kayakpick.htm is pretty good too, but I strongly disagree that volume is not an important dimension to know (as is highlighted on this site--at least if you want to go on any expeditions with your kayak).

Don't normally do "me too's" but Matt's endorsement deserves reinforcement. The hull design section is really nicely done. It is written for the lay person. I learned a lot, and bookmarked it for future reference. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
