Probably the last of these that I'll post, but I like it. She's a Chuckanut 10 recreational kayak, 10'x27", 21lbs, skinned with 8 oz polyester. I built it for my friend Beata who wanted "mint green." She got whatever color I came up with, which I will never be able to replicate . . . .

A very fun little boat to paddle, btw, comfy, stable and maneuverable - just like recreational kayaks are supposed to be. This one just happens to weigh less than half what a plastic one weighs!

Here are some pics:
