Siskiwit LV Launched

Ralph M. recently completed a Siskiwit LV build. Here’s what he wrote:

I put my just completed Siskiwit in the water (Puget Sound) for the first time on Thursday evening. 


It is a wonderful boat; stability and handling  exactly as you said.    Excellent response to leaned turns, a bit of skeg as needed.    With skeg all the way down it obediently heads downwind.  


I had whitecaps building up, modest chop, a good first test for an old guy with back problems.  

Weight is a bit under 40 pounds.  


Thank you for a really good design. 

Here are a few photos that he took of his kayak. It’s a beauty!

Now a Word From Our Sponsors. More After the Break.
