: Be careful on this forum. There are a lot of us older gents (70+)
: still building kayaks. I have build 3 s&g's, one of Yost's
: folders, and one strip in process. Also building a SOF canoe
: with my son. A lot of us older guys still get it.

: Charles Robinson

Definitely no offense intended Charles and others, I am very aware that there are a lot of older folk (I purposely did not say "old") on this forum and building kayaks as well as plenty of other forms of activity who still get it. I was referring to the "older gent" as an example of someone who had never seen a timber kayak before and certainly not in any derogatory sense, I could just as easily have said a "young fellow" as there are plenty of younger folk who would be in the same situation who have never seen a timber kayak as well. If I offend, I apologise, but I am also no spring chicken with plenty of experience, just not in kayaks, and I thoroughly expect to be building and being very active for many years to come.
When I get to be in my 70's, I will then refer to people in their 80's (whether they still get it or not), as being older folk, nothing more, nothing less.

So what kayak are you building?
