Very cool boat. In fact I have been thinking of a nice, stable, skin on frame for fishing. How do I get plans?

: Hi Builders,
: This is the first picture of my latest build. This is a Dave Gentry
: design, The Chuckanut 15. I built out of cypress and 8oz
: polyester. The color scheme was borrowed form Heather Langlois
: off of Tom Yost's gallery of the Sea Flea. I built the C15 so my
: daughter and I could paddle in the same kayak. The design was
: easy to build and not much cost compared to a strip kayak.
: I have not yet put her in the water that should be this weekend.
: However Dave reports a great paddle. He said well behaved
: tracking and good speed for a 15 foot rec. kayak. I expect that
: will be exactly the case.
: My thanks go out to Dave Gentry for allowing me to build his
: design. Dave was very helpful with a written Manuel along with
: the offsets. Dave Gentry is easy to email and quick to respond
: when I had a question.
: I also want to mention Heather Lanlois and her color scheme, The
: Sea Flea inspired this build, Thanks. Hope the Sea Pup is coming
: well. Also thanks to everyone on KBBB.
: Comments and questions are welcome.
