[Paddlewise] New Kayak Design Launched

"Shame on you. I never thought you would be one of those who would steal a 
design. You can expect to hear from the legal team of Consolidated Box and Kayak 
within a few days..."
When I first saw this, (http://www.rollordrown.com/images/foamK.jpg), I
was sure it was a rip-off of a long established Australian design. See
this image of a vessel, largely constructed of beer cans, at
http://www.ozoutback.com.au/postcards/postcards_forms/nt_beercanregatta/Image/au431040.jpg
On closer inspection, you can see subtle but important differences.
Duane's design is undoubtedly a new and different hull shape. 
Cheers, PT
