This is about my last P&H Baidarka Explorer. The yellow one has been sold a year ago but I had already collected a nice orange one. With the orange deck this boat looks absolutely beautiful:
This one doesn't have a variable skeg. My latest experience with the yellow one showed that the variable skeg wasn't really necessary: weatherhelm is easily controlled by effective correction strokes especially with a Greenland paddle.
My original plan was to rebuilt this one with an extra hatch and foot pump. However, due to lack of time and urgency I decided to sell it: I don't need an extra sea kayak with the specific characteristics of the Baidarka. Selling it would also free some space for other vintage boat projects. So, about a year after the yellow one had been sold, the orange one has been sold also. The new owner being very happy with the almost prestine condition of this vintage kayak.
