: Has anyone actually built one of Nick Shade's Aleutesque strippers
: and would be willing to provide a review, however brief?

: I can't find any info on them searching the forum or google - and
: Nick's description, as I read it, is best summed up as
: "well it looks pretty...".
: I'm still finishing up the two boats I've been building
: concurrently, which makes now the perfect time to plan a new
: project. The desgin aesthetic appeals to me. In fact I find the
: exemplar on Nick's website downright beautiful, but I'm not sure
: what to make of a baidarka-style boat that, according to
: Guillemot-kayaks.com, doesn't do well in rough water. The speed
: and down-wind surfing capabilities certainly are appealing
: though...

: So - has anyone actually built one from Nick's plans and can
: comment?
