Description
by Steve Killing
Steve Killing's design is fast becoming well-known, in part due to the Endeavour being built in many a WoodenBoat School class, as well as being the featured boat in the Ted Moores book Kayakcraft
.This is the boat for you, even if you have never paddled before. You will be right at home after just a few outings. The book also has a very informative section on kayak design--stability, drag, and more, written by Steve Killing.
