Something Awfully Familiar

A few months back I saw an image on Facebook that looked familiar.

Free boat plans for building a strip-built baidarka style sea kayak

19' long by 17 1/8" wide

These plans are product of Nick's years of boating experience and extensive research into what makes boats work. Each design starts out as an idea spawned on the water. Time out in boats will suggest how a boat could be tailored to perform better in specific conditions.

The word "baidarka" is actually a Russian word. It is the diminutive form of "baidar" which means "boat" so "baidarka" means "small boat".
