: The Guillemot and the Cape Ann models seem to be quite similiar - does anyone

: building instructions and techniques?

: Got lots more questions but got some of these general things (like which one
: to build) to settle first.

I think that the One Ocean Boats tend to be a bit fuller bodied than NIcks boats especially when you look at the tip and tails.

Building style tends to be similar although Vaclav does use some interesting ideas to save time or atleast he was the first person to stick them all together on a website. His flush hatch and carbon cockpit instructions are cool innovations.

You could always get his building manual and incorporate those features into any boat.

FWIW, I have never paddled One Ocean boats although I have considered building one. I have paddled NIcks boats and most of them.

good luck,
