: First of all its fun....even if you don't know what you are doing...I started
: with Eric at Shearwater Boats, because I liked his designs (books,
: conversations etc.) Eric suggested I see Newfound for their kits... Now
: you have to understand, theirs is a different idea for a kit...as it is
: basicly the wood cut on a CNC, and all the parts, epoxy and fibreglas you
: need,instructions are kinda loose.
: that being said, both Michael of Newfound, and Eric of Shearwater and easy to
: get in touch with and offer wonderful advice. I started my hybrid
: bairdarka March 15th, and I finished striping the deck last nite...Its on
: the front lawn, because its not quite ready for water yet...so it is a
: do-able project, with almost NO tools just time and patience. Any
: questions, I have a million pictures and the experts on this panel can
: offer loads of advice..

Dick,
Beautiful boat! Was this your first boat, or one of many? I built my first boat last year. (An 18'merganser) and I love it. How was it building the hybrid? I'm trying to decide which boat to do next, and was thinking about the Baidarka hybrid. I saw it for the first time at the small boat shop C & K Expo in Norwalk. A real beauty
