How far along are you?
Any pictures so far? (yeah, we know, sausage making is not pretty but we are all friends here :-)

: Yep, I agree! I built the Raven using one layer of 6-oz glass on the bottom,
: one layer of 4-oz glass on the deck and seam tape on the inside seams. No
: heavy end pours and as little epoxy as possible. That kept the weight to
: just over 12 Kgs. She is as light as a feather and strong enough to run
: the river.

: I am working on the S&G NH right now, using only 4-oz glass on the hull and
: deck, tapes on the seams and probably a piece of closed cell foam for the
: ends. I am going to try to keep the weight of this beauty below 30-lbs,
: hardware included, meaning thin fillets for any seams. For deck lines I
: will use only a perimeter line and one bungee set-up for holding stuff
: upon the deck. Hope this helps.
