Hello, Have you built one of Mr. Monfort's designs? I've been looking over his boats.....I like the concept for his brand of skin on frame. I also like the decked canoe (kayak???)design. I'd like to get your impressions of the boats, if you have experience with them. Looks like a couple of the canoes would be a good project to do with my kids......... What type of "skin" comes in the kits?

: A 'skin-on-frame' type of boat that has not been mentioned is the Geodesic
: Airolite boats. A materials kit and plans will set you back about $120.00,
: and all you have to do is supply the wood for the frames and the
: strongback. A simple design, and a unique boat (that is unbelievably
: light). You get to do some woodworking, and the non-wood parts of the boat
: are simple and quick.

: Just wanted to give Mr. Monfort a plug here.
