I'm halfway through building an Osprey Standard for my wife. I completely agree with your comments about the quality of the components and instructions. It seems easier to build than the CLC Chesapeake I built last winter, but that's probably only due to my being further down the learning curve.

As soon as her boat is finished, we won't have to fight over who gets to use the kayak. Since it looks like I'll be back in Connectict for another year, I want to use them to catch a few stripers this summer with my fly rod.
