: Hello all~

: I'm curious if anyone out there has a link to Tom Yost's Sea Tour
: 15 EXP Offsets...? I cannot seem to find them on the yostwerks
: website, all I seem to be able to get to is this:

: http://www.yostwerks.com/SeaTour15EXP_1.html

: I am getting married soon, and I am building this boat as a gift to
: a mentor of mine who is preaching the wedding and doing our
: premarital counseling. He lives on a nice private lake and has
: always talked about getting a kayak. Originally I was thinking
: of just building the Sea Tour 15R because it is prettier (and
: will look nicer if it just ends up hanging in his garage near
: the Vette), but i think the 24" Beam on the EXP will
: benefit the stability for a new kayaker.

: Bill, I intend to give your Dacron/Glass skin covering a go on this
: build. I was curious if you've ever dyed the Dacron before
: coating it with epoxy, and if there are any issues with that?

I had to go look, the offsets are there under the folding boat section: http://yostwerks.com/SeaTour15EXP_Offsets.html

I've not tried dyed Dacron sorry, it's not the type of fabric that would dye easily it's got a very hard finish.
