My experience with plumb vs extended bows accords with Barton’s preference as seen in his videos and discussion on the Epic site.
Google “Ulstein x-bow” and ponder whether a kayak with one of these bows might be even better than the plumb bow. Better behavior in rough seas and more efficient?

I would paddle, or rather fall off of one.

Wow
I had no idea such a machine existed. Too narrow beam for me. I would like to try a more nominal kayak with that bow.
Gif, go over to Fast Lane and ask them
to explain this to you … Cool Stuff.

Interesting. Can you provide a link? Thx.
Was referring to local shop on M.B.,
Where they sell Nacras and Hobies … Can check out reverse bow designs.
