: books about building strip kayaks by Nick Schade and Ted Moores and then
: be sure to review this bulletin board each night before you go to bed.

Tim:

I'm just getting started to begin my Return from Joe's plans. Do you know how many strips it took to do the hull? I'm just wondering as I'm partway through ripping strips. Thanks.

Any other commenst on the Return you might like to offer? Any pictures for us to check out.

Thanks,
