WOW!

I arrived at this site because I was looking for information to help me decide if I should take on building a kayak as a winter project (and how to go about doing it). Your pictures & descriptions sure answered a lot of questions for me. I now realise that a strip built boat is one heck of a lot of work,but man what a beautiful end product.

Thanks

: Wow! It's been a while since I checked in here, but I see it is going better
: than ever! Kayaks Rule!

: I'm on project #127 since the kayak, but the skills I gained during the
: construction of my GB are helping me at every turn. Building a wood strip
: kayak is a great project, and if you're hanging on the fence, go ahead and
: give it a try . . . You will have a ball, and end up with a darn nice
: kayak to boot.

: My construction pics may help a few, feel free to visit the link below, where
: I have posted my profusely photographed effort of last year's kayak
: construction project. Mucho thanks to Nick, Rob, Joe, Vaclav, and ALL the
: great posters to this bb for all their help & ideas during
: construction.

: As a small thanks, I offer a stock tip - MVEE, I've been following it for
: almost 2 years, and feel it's ready to "pop!" Presently at
: $500/million shares it's a fun gamble and could perhaps pay for an ongoing
: kayak hobby . . . ;-)

: Thanks again everyone, best of success with your kayaks, and as a parting
: thought, do any of you operate QRP from your kayak? (Amateur Radio).

: Best Regards,
