Hey Steve,

If you get a chance there is a boatbuilders forum on the 23rd Oct at southwind kayaks in Irvine. At the last one in april there were a couple of redwood boats, Jim Gabriels Guillemot Coastal? My Great Auk, and a couple of skin and S&G boats. The forum is from 10 to 12 Am with a paddle in New Port afterwards. I don't know how many will show this time, but it might be interesting. You can follow the link for more details, location, Etc. Bob
