hello , I have been modifying the plans in nicks book to accept my size 13's

Up here in canada the best price i can find for strips is from classic boat kits

$770 with our ridiculous taxes and shipping!!, I am an apprentice and money is scarce.

noahs in toronto has strips ,but they are 7/8" (3/4")coverage, I wonder if they will follow the twist in the expedition singles hull? if so i can escape the shiping costs.

does the night heron have a higher deck than the exp. single?

I plan to start building in 2 weeks , i have 17 days to build day and night

how far in the building process do think i will get ? to glassing , I hope.

i have a ches. yare under my belt.

are there any strip builders in the toronto area that would like to get together and have a paddle together on good ol' lake ontario?

suggestions and comments appreciated
