: I am thinking of building either a North Star or Shooting Star for my next
: stripper. I have quite a few boats so far and love my Outer Islands (2).
: Before I start building my next boat, I would love an opportunity to see a
: North Star or Shooting Star. I live in Northern California and will be
: visiting New England during the second and third week of July. I like the
: lower volume of the Shooting Star, but like the length of the North Star.
: I might take the Shooting Star design and stretch it a bit. Is there
: anybody that has one of these boats that I can see?? I would also love any
: feedback from people that have paddled these boats. Thanks!
Ken,
I can't help with regards to perforance yet, but so far I have enjoyed building my North Star which is nearing completion. Here's a link to my building pages. http://www.valinet.com/~stevemin/KayakPages.html
I'm looking forward to trying it out as all I've ever paddled was plastic kayaks and tippy canoes. I'm now planning a Shooting Star as the next project for the wife. Good luck
