His design is not even remotely similar to a kayak, nor is it a substitute for one. Not sure why this illicited a stident response, but I'm game ... what's a better way to describe the boat and how it performs? The reason for the response is that Yoav is attempting to market his W boat as a "safer" alternative to a kayak and as offering the same level of performance, which is absolute BS on both counts. If one is a kayaker, the differences are quite obvious, as are the limitations to his design. However, all that may not be germaine to this discussion, since the intent is to solicit builders. If the design appeals to you, by all means build one. |
