Great Auk: The Great Auk is a roomy, fast and stable kayak and tracks very straight. The long water line and clean entry permits it to cut through the water with a barely visible wake. The þared bow gives a very dry ride, lifting over most waves with little effort. This is by far the most stable single in the catalog and probably the fastest. It is the easiest design to build, with a fairly simple shape. This is a good all-around boat for someone wanting a stable, fast kayak. This boat is designed to accept a rudder but it is not required. With any of strip-built designs the forms placement may be adjusted to shorten the boat or add rocker. My brother, a friend and I have built a total of four versions of this boat (including a double) using the same forms, each with slightly different form placement.
