In Response To: Strip: Petrel strongback (Eric Anderson)

: Quick question: Is the internal strongback of the Petrel EXACTLY 10
: ft or should it be a little over?
Hi Eric
I built my strongback with 3/4 sanded plywood 12' long and the hole in the ends are 1/2" wide and fits the stern and bow forms nice and tight.
This is my first Kayak so far so good thanks Nick and i love the book too.
