: Spot on!

: Get the book. Building my 3. stripper I still turn to it for ideas and
: advice.

: My first stripper was a shortened Guillemot. I set the stations at 11"
: and it turned out as a great kayak. Im 175 cm. tall, and weigh around 75
: kg, so I dont think you will end up in trouble as long as you are using it
: without a lot of heavy gear. I wish I could put it into the water and load
: it up with extra weight to see what happens, but it is in the shop for
: some TLC after 4 years of abuse. It is a loose tracking kayak in the short
: version, and I added a small fin to stabilise it. Worked out great!

: Good luck on your project!

When Nick's new book comes out I'll have to buy a copy so I can have one that isn't horribly dog eared etc. :) I use it constantly for references for all sorts of projects.
