Plans kayak - Nomad/2, €105
images | information | lines | particulars | history | recensioner | kommentarer
Nomad/2 is a double with the same hull form as Nomad – long, slim and very, very fast. Less beam and a lower profile reduces packing volume compared to most doubles. Extensive touring requires some thought and discipline.
Stability is better than you might expect - with a little practice even inexperienced paddlers can handle Nomad/2. In a moderate sea, a long double can be very fast since the hull bridges more waves than a shorter kayak. In larger waves though, the going tends to be bumpy and wet as the vertical movement of the stems increases.
You will need a good-sized rudder to maneuver this wooden rocket.
