John asks: > How many of his other designs have you paddled. Have you paddle an Ice > Floe, Reiver, Naiad, or Baidarka explorer? > > Ice Floe- Had a customer give me one, as he was tired of it. I sold it for $100. I paddled it once. Very straight tracking and hard to turn and yet weathercocks. No skeg. $100 might of been too much. Reiver/ Naiad- Paddled at a symposium years ago. Tippy and tiny cockpits aren't my bag. Biaidarka Explorer- Paddled a friend's twice. Hull performance was ok, good thing it had a skeg as it w/c. Comfortable like sitting in a crate of avocados. Could see an antique MG aficionado loving it.
