I would very much appreciate some advice. I have had a craving flung upon me to build a double kayak. I have looked at most of what is up on the boards, and the Guillemot double looks very nice. I am fairly conversant with strip[plank and epoxy building-I finished a sixteen foot sailboat this spring which used strip planking- but I am short of tools and space at this time. We live on the Gulf Coast of Alabama and paddle the bayous and close coast. Anyone built this boat who could offer advice? Appreciate help very much-Thanks-Ed
