In Response To: Laughing Loon's Shooting Star. (John Monfoe)

I've got the stations and strongback built for the Shooting Star. I haven't started to build it yet and may well build the Cape Ann Storm first. After reading Dyson's Baidarka and Morris' Skin on Frame book, I'm not planning on stripping the Shooting Star stern with steam-bent strips. That seems to be the part of the construction that everyone says presents the greatest difficulty. I'm also thinking of modifying the bow construction in a similar fashion to the Australian baidarka pictured in the Shearwater Boats gallery.
