Nick - After looking over your designs, I think the Little Auk is exactly the boat I'm looking for; I'm considering building one. However, the only space I have is in my basement, which is fairly damp and humid. Is it possible to successfully build a stripper under these conditions? Because of the high humidity, the wood strips would be at a higher equilibrium moisture content, compared to building it outside, or in a less humid indoor environment...would this affect the glue bond, or epoxy curing? One other question: Can the Little Auk design be stretched to 12 feet, for addition carrying capacity? (And as an aside, isn't the Dagger "Bayou" a rip-off of your Little Auk design?) Thanks for the info!
