: The building bug seems to have bitten! Having completed several
: river trips of up to 10miles in my 15ft 6" Guillemot, I am
: now well into building the 17ft version as Nick designed it with
: the hull now half stripped out. I'm delighted with the handling
: and performance of the short version and now look foreward to
: making a direct comparison before my son(s) grab one of them!
: I'm also looking a little to the future, as I have a grandson
: and quite like the idea of building Joe Greenley's Parr for him.
: He's only two at the moment. Can anyone suggest what age he
: might fit the boat, is there any other design I should be
: looking at for him?
: Les Cheeseman.

Might take a looks at Tom Yost's boats for him, he has several kid's boats and you don't have the investment of money nor time that you'd have in a stripper for a boat he'll likely outgrow.
