Hi


Just finished some details on DRAKKAR's creeking canoe.

I will pass some images asap to drakkar website. I wish that will be before going to kanumesse. Looks like plenty of fun.

some details

length 282
width 72
waterline 68,5
paddler weight for optimal displacement 117 kg

Round rockfrienly shape plenty of rocker and fat ends. Actually
This boat looks quite funny.

Expected to be out commercially in kevlar/ carbon glass in 8-12 weeks time.

Marko, what happened to the Fat Boy?

Cheers, Jan

I gotta go with Jan on this one. I was looking forward to seeing a production Fat Boy. The Spanishfly and Taureau are two excellent creek capable machines availible now (though I commend your efforts!! ) and frankly a new C-1 designed creek/volume boat is what folks are itchin' for. I don't know if it's in your plans but with the crumpled up legs of a c-boater there is ample storage room for a hatch or expedition capable area in the front and back. Hope we see more of your ideas in plastic soon! I know the costs are overwhelming but a good "sustainible" design should sell for more than one or two years. I don't forsee Dagger, LL, Wavesport or anyone else bothering with our market so my hat's off to you.
