: I want to build a wood kayak within the following parameters and am looking
: for advice from those who have gone before me.

I have read this thread with too much interest. Say... you can't build just one. I told my wife I might build another one and her mouth dropped and eyeballs rolled. My little 12 footer didn't track well on my trip and so I have to work on that, but......a month or so ago I was reading on the board about the Shooting Star and how extreemly fast it was. I can't get it out of my head but I am trying to. I think it was small but looked hard to build with a funny looking bow. But for race car speed maybe it could be a choice. I thought it might be OK for touring and exercise while leaving everone in your spray.
