S&G: Hybrid Chris Cunningham Greenland Kayak

Hi All,

I'm currently getting started on building my wife a Chris Cunningham S&G from the article in Sea Kayaker (1994 I think). The original has a plywood deck, but after building 5 S&G boats with plywood deck I'm ready to venture into the land of stripping--err, boats, that is.

Other than Ross Leidy's site and the pics from the article itself, does anyone have any photos of this boat or has anyone built them that they could email some photos to me (qajaqbuilder@gmail.com)

I'd like to have a look at a finished hull while building. My friend Don & I have trimmed down the shearline by 3/4" for less freeboard. All other original design intentions have remained unchanged.

One other item: can anyone here give a thumbs up to RAKA epoxy? I'm considering the 127/350 no-blush system of theirs.

Thanks everyone,
Brad Shook
