In Response To: Laughing Loon North Star (Wesley Gross)

: Interested in general input/feedback on the Laughing Loon North Star. It
: truly is a beautiful boat and has interesting lines.

: I know several others have posted on this, and I refreshed my memory of some
: concerns builders had with the forms and offsets in the archives. However,
: I never heard how those issues were resolved, if at all. Perhaps someone
: out there has new information or would provide me with their overall
: thoughts.

: I have built a couple of Pygmy S&G's and am now ready to try something more
: challenging.

: Thank you,

: Wesley Can't help out much at this point but I'll let you know over the next couple of months what I run into. I have just finished the strong back and other misc items and I hope to be building by early September. I'm rearranging the garage, moving out the freezer and the HD to make room. Didn't realize all the preliminary work when I decided to try and build my first kayak! The wife is taking it fairly well for the moment seeing how everything from the garage is finding it's way to the family room. I must say this is a very good board and have enjoyed reading the posts. I've been lurking for some time trying to gather some tid bits to start this project. Steve
