: i am fairly new to kayaking, i currently have a p&h capella but recently have
: been considering building a kayak. for my first boat i am considering the
: Chesapeake Light Craft but am undecided between the Chesapeake and the
: North Bay. The looks of the North Bay is fantastic, CLC however rates this
: a little more difficult to build than the Chesapeake. Any advise re which
: model, why the North Bay is more difficult to build, and any tips would be
: appreciated. Thanks

I have finished a S&G Guillemot and currently plotting the Merganser. I admit I screw up a few times with the Guillemot -- my fault not the designer -- and this is considered to be a more difficult one to built. Hopefully, lesson I learn will help me in the next one. Walrus, wait and see.
