Hi To All, I've started my new build a customized Night Heron, I made it 16Ft(easier for me to carry) and enlarged the cockpit(I,m
in my 80's and have trouble getting in and out.I have a couple of questions, I would like to try the 3.2oz glass that I hear you pro's
use but have doubt- Thayer Craft #1678 3.2 oz 44 in. wide 50 yds for $60.00 just dont sound right. Also I like MAS(2:1 ratio) and
find it only at CLC which is in kit form at $292.00, is there any others with 2:1 which is as good or better. I think I will go with
Zspar captian after reading Bill Ham's thread.Once again thanks a lot for your help Nick R.
