How about that. Mike Hanks lofted up a plywood frame and stringer version of the Ken Taylor Igdlorsuit kayak which he assembled at SSTIKS. He glue-pegged and lashed it, and didn't plan to epoxy it.

It will not be much in the foot room department. If you got measurements off an Anas Acuta, I think you'd find there's more room in the Anas Acuta than the "Iggy."

Mmmm, I wish Mike's wood Iggy was skinned, I've only paddled his floppy folding version...

I think the Iggy will be more maneuverable than a Sea Rider, and certainly more than the Sea Rider. I enjoy paddling an Anas Acuta, though it is a slow kayak, and HEAVY to carry.

: I started lofting the Sea Rider last night and it is TINY. I don't see how I
: can get my legs and feet to fit in it; my toes are sticking several inches
: above the form for section 3. I'm probably going to try altering the front
: deck, but might try a different design all together. My friend is building
: an Igdlorssuit / Anas Acuta
: (http://www.nessmuking.com/articles/igdlorssuit-free-plans-for-the-boat-before-anas-acuta/)
: and it's quite tempting to build one as well. I'm going to browse the rest

: Would be especially interested to hear from anyone who's run into this
: before.
