Launching: My first SOF build *LINK* *Pic*

Attached is a picture of my first SOF build: a 12ft open canoe my kids named "Dermie". She is a slightly enlarged and modified version of Brian Chandler's Wee Lassie design from his Dreamcatcher web site. This forum was of great inspiration and information for the build. Special thanks to Jerry Smith for his advice on applying the ZAR ploy coating to the ballistic nylon skin (which came from Corey's store).

I finally got around to uploading a set of build pictures onto Flickr. You can find them on the attached link (I hope!).
