to design and build a sea kayak that forms a harmonious dialogue with its east Australian coastal land & seascape environment.
A sea kayak that is:
- responsive to the specific physical conditions encounted along the east Australian coastline;
- principally constructed of materials that are sourced from the east Australian coastline;
- accommodating of the large storage volume required of multiple-week expeditions; and
- capable of being sailed upwind.
The principal building material for this kayak will be Australian red cedar.
