Thanks for the link and info . You are a good roller .

Lashing seems to be the way to go rather than glueing and pegging. Good info.

: Both are great. The Sea Rider was the first boat I built so the
: Roldarka was just better built so it's hard to compare the two.
: I got about 15 rolls in the Roldarka this summer and it tracks
: really well. Handles great in waves too. Check it out here:

: This boat is lashed rather than glued...much better and not so
: hard. If my cedar seat cracks or breaks i can cut it out and
: replace it no problem. Also all the wood can be sanded and
: treated before it's assembled giving a very nice clean look on
: the inside.

: BEWARE: Don't leave your boat white unless your going to invest in
: a Sea Sock. Sand and crud get stuck in spots impossible to
: remove and it becomes quite unattractive very fast!
