Susan,
I just recently finished the North Star and have been very pleased with it's performance. I finally weighed it last Friday and it came in at 45#s including floatation bags in front and rear. I purchased the plans from Rob last month for the Shooting Star and plan to start building one for the wife this fall. While they are 2 different boats you may want to check my web site to give you an idea of the building process which is similar. The North Star tracked very well last weekend in some some fairly windy weather with some pretty good waves across the deck. Good Luck.
