: Thanks for the pic, and the inspiration! Feel free to post as many
: pics as you're able, along with any build comments/suggestions
: ;oD.

: I plan on building one over the winter, too... just waiting to move
: into the new house at the end of January (original plan was to
: build in my mom's barn, three hours away; new house sounds
: better). The new house has a full unfinished basement, so kayak
: building shouldn't be a problem.

: I don't know where you're located, either. If you happen to be
: somewhere warm enough to get it into the water before spring,
: I'd love to hear a paddle report, too.

I suspect it'll paddle much like the Sea Bee that the class I taught built two years ago, basically the same boat but 2' shorter. It's a very nice handling boat, much to recommend it. Friend has the one the class built and I've paddled it quite a few times, he paddles it alot, several times a week. He also paddles something like 500 miles a year, so his boats get alot of use :)
