Erez,

Pygmy does sell plans for the Goldeneye which has the exact same hull as the Osprey. The main difference is the Osprey has a 4 paneled deck while the Goldeneye has a two paneled deck.

: I considered the osprey std. It's 15'9 by 24" .

: the 15'9 is good for me, but I don't like the 24" , I think it's way to
: much for me (155 lb). I would narrow it, but pygmy don't sell plans, so
: the hell with them ! I'll find something else .

: I'm considering a skin on frame. it's easy to adjust their dimentions, &
: then cover them with plywood or anything else.

: does anybody have offset tables for the osprey std. ?

: my email is FL_PELICAN@HOTMAIL.COM .

: here are 3 books with instructions & plans for a SOF kayak: The Aleutian
: Kayak

: Wood and Canvas Kayak Building

: Building a Jawbone Kayak

: you can find them all in amazon.

: & one more thing: somebody here showed a kayak of his own design, he
: named it "sea spirit". I don't remember its dimensions, but
: check it out. he might let you use the plans & instructions. scroll
: down, it's not too far.

: all the above is, ofcourse, in addition to the obvious: pygmy,clc,san-javier,
: & probably few more names I will be able to recall only AFTER I post
: this message 8-)
