I have noticed the obvious theme in this BBS....light, light, light. Are there any issues with extra weight beside the extra effort to carry to the water? Being a first time builder with no epoxy/glass experience building a Guillemot what can I expect as a likely range. Nick's version is ~ #40, do I actually have a chance at being close to 40.
