: What are some
: REAL figures for the cloth and Epoxy needed and who are some of the most
: reasonable suppliers.

I got away with 1.5 gallons of Raka 127/606/610. I bought a 3-gallon kit for $110, so I have enough for a second boat. http://www.raka.com

I purchased 40 yards of 5.5 oz x 50" fiberglass from Hamilton Marine. I haven't even used half of it. It cost $2.99/yard. http://www.hamiltonmarine.com

If you have a power sander, high-quality sandpaper is cheapest from Klingspor http://www.woodworkingshop.com

These two were the most reasonable suppliers you'll find anywhere.

: Last: As I said, I was considering the Guillemot. Can it be built from the
: plans included in Nick's "Strip-Building Kayaks" book or should
: I purchase the full size plans. I know for sure that I'll be getting the
: book, just didn't want to purchase more than I needed. Will they just need
: to be lofted?

Lofting is most of the work you would avoid by buying plans. Even if you buy the plans, owning the book is still a good idea.

Ramble on!
