17th November 2008

Added KOG #27, 31, 33, 34, 36, 37, 43, 44, 52, 57, 70, 71, 88. That's all type IV kayaks except child kayak #35 and #38. I also fixed #75 a little and re-created #82 (Lc-148) from KOG book. #82 was previously made from museum offsets. New models are available for download.

Some non-Greenland kayaks are now available for comparison.

13th February 2008

Added type III-kayaks and KOG #48, #65, #92, #72 and Ken Taylor's Illorsuit kayak as "#72B".
Tuned some kayaks to float a bit different trim.
Added some new graphs and stuff.
Added lot's of kayaks for download.
Increased the graph sizes - the font was getting too small.

20th September 2007

Added type II-kayaks.
I tuned the Michlet models to be similar to Freeship models.
Added Waterline lenght, width and L/W -ratio graphs.

10th September 2007

I added some of my thoughts.

4th September 2007

NOTE!
Major bug in Freeship Michlet export has caused the models to be streched in Michlet. Now the models have been calculated correctly.
KOG 42 added. (but it's a slightly too narrow - I'll fix it in next update) (Edit; It's still too narrow - I forgot... But the downloadable model is ok.)

Type I kayaks added.

12th May 2007
