Well enough lurking on this board and on to building.
After a couple of days of chasing the kids around at the lake on the weekend I will return and get down to serious (kayak building) business. My plywood is scarfed and my panels are cut I will begin stitching on Monday. I'm building a Shearwater Baidarka 19'. This is my first kayak and I know that I am definatly a type "O" builder (prone to over-building) so I'm going to try and watch myself and keep things light. Other than large and heavy fillets are there errors that are commonly made by first time builders? Also, if any of you have built this model kayak, any tips you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Have a great weekend!!!!
Ken
