This boat is an awsome preformer.

This is a custom set of plans Matt drew for me, I have a race next month I wanted to run so got Matt to design the bottom hull and I did the decks and rest of the boat
Asymmetrical is suppose to be faster ,and from my experience with the T-V and the laker 15 5 a it is more stable, and I like the way it looks.
The Cuda AKA 15 5 a is stable, fast , and with the low decks wind just doesnt bother it at all, it is the easiest paddling boat I own. I also built a Laker 13 so I had that to compare to.
The asymetrical hull will take a hour or 2 extra to lay out but to me it is worth it.

G'day Ron,
I thought I had allready posted to this thread but must have been having another "poppy" moment, sorry mate. I been getting a few of them lately.
Mate, I love this boat and especially what you have done to what is allready, a superb kayak. Only someone who regularly paddles in windy conditions apprecieates what a PITA a high sided, high volume kayak or canoe can be in wind.
If I can ever catch up with all of the lovely boats Matt designs that I want to build, I have some ideas about a very low sided ,narrow touring kayak that I would like to build, but so far, he is designing boats that I want to build, faster than I can chuck em together.
His two magnificent new Freedoms are a case in point. Then, there are all these Lakers and a Okwata and so on and on and on
I need a bigger shed, more machines and LOTS more ply and epoxy AND more time to build em in.
