: Doug,
: I helped my daughter build a Ganymede last year and we are both
: very pleased with the performance. It is remarkably stable,
: surprisingly fast, and tracks beautifully. I put sealed
: bulkheads in both ends but would still want to keep this boat in
: shelter waters. We built the middle of three deck heights
: offered and it is too small for my 6'4" frame but the
: highest deck ought to work for you. You can see a construction

Wes, Thanks for the info. I have looked at your construction log -- very helpful for those considering S&G construction. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience and provide some guidance. Your blog is about the only information I could find on the web about Ganymede -- I guess it's a new design.
Thanks again.
Doug
