: Jerry, I once considered using hollow fiber-glass arrow blanks, joined
: together with plugs, also fiber glass bicycle flag staffs (1/4" diam
: x 5' rods), but got bogged down hunting for materials. Some baidarkas may
: have aluminum tubing. A commercial venture used PVC tubing. I'm interested
: in what you come up with... The world waits for an innovator. Anyone...
: how about a guy named Jerry!?! Hurry up and bring us some pictures! TNX,

Jerry, Pete Rudue just brougth up in a recent post, some f/g tubes that could be epoxyed on, say, 18' length of steel brake line with release agent, and slid off to make full length "dowels", then look up baidarka links to see boats made with tubing and forms... just some more thoughts... Good luck.. TNX, Scotty
