: Hi,

: Thanks for providing all the information and pictures of your kayak
: which looks great.

: I am also interested in building this kayak using the SOF method. I
: am a novice builder but I have plenty of time and determination
: and there are other SOF builders in my area.

: Did you build it from the free plans provided at the PaddlingLight
: site? Would it be helpful if I bought the $30 package which
: includes Electronic Nestings or alternatively buying the full
: size printed plans.

Hey, Ian, if you can print 24" by 36" and don't mind tracing the lines out yourself then the free plans are a good option. If you want to glue paper stations to the plywood, mark out your stringers, and cut then the nestings are a good option. If you don't have access to a large printer, then the printed plans are available.
