In Response To: which kayak to build (Ralph J. Blake)

: i am fairly new to kayaking, i currently have a p&h capella but recently have
: been considering building a kayak. for my first boat i am considering the
: Chesapeake Light Craft but am undecided between the Chesapeake and the
: North Bay. The looks of the North Bay is fantastic, CLC however rates this
: a little more difficult to build than the Chesapeake. Any advise re which
: model, why the North Bay is more difficult to build, and any tips would be
: appreciated. Thanks

I built a Chesaapeake 18 about 2 years ago and also built a Merganser last summer with/for my SO.

Check out the pictures of both at the below address.
