Jack,

I have set up a wooden kayak & canoe homebuilders directory which is intended to accomplish just what you have mentioned -- allow builders and potential builders to get together, discuss, paddle, and compare boats and building. In order for this to be a worthwhile tool, we need lots of people to participate. At this point there are over 160 different boats entered. If you haven't already, check out the directory to see if anyone is building or has built in your area.
