I have lately been checking out all the info I could find online about these boats, including your high school web page. Looks like a fun way to build a boat!

Could you clarify the way the kevlar roving is attached to the frame? I saw on one site that the builder had to tighten up the roving after shrinking the covering. Do you think that's normal? If so, is it easy to take up the slack?

Thanks for any info - Dave
