Hybrid Baidarka is Finished! *Pic*

Its finished! 5 months, about 204 hours. Even with lots of mistakes that I can see, it looks spectacular!

It is a Shearwater Hybrid Baidarka. I purchased all the materials from Newfound. Both Eric from Shearwater and Michael from Newfound were very helpful, as were lots of posts from this board, expecially several posts from Rob Macks. Thanks to all.

The boat is going to be officially "launched" in Mass Bay this Sunday.
