Nanoq from the Netherlands

Another beautiful kayak from Golan in Beerta, just south of the Dollard bay and the Waddenzee on the North Sea coast.

"Hi Bjorn,

This time I send you a few pictures of the Nanoq that I just finished. 

The Nanoq has a more complex shape than the Njord ( I build earlier ) and was therefore much more difficult tot build; the sweep of the bow and stern uses the flexibility of the strips to their limits. I did not want to use "cheater" strips. But achieving its designed shape is well worth the effort; the Nanoq is a maneuverable boat that also tracks well. Thanks for the great design !

Kind regards,
Golan Raaymakers/GoSu"
