Naw, I don't plan to build another one soon, though I recently bought some tools (spokeshave etc.) so I can carve a Greenland paddle to my size. Finding a nice WRC 2x4 looks like it's going to be a challenge, though. I bought a slab of Douglas fir thinking I'd use that (no knots whatsoever, and the grain looks really good) but man, is it HEAVY. I also read that its splinters tend to become "septic"...sounds like it'd be nasty to work with. Think I'll save it for some other use.

The reason I hesitate on building another boat is that I'm not entirely sold on the hard-chined hull of S&Gs. The kayak carves turns soooo nicely and tracks well, but I don't like how it slapslapslaps the water if I sit in one place and hipflick it from one side to another. (Returns easily to upright, though.) Silly, I know. I guess I worry about what that slapping means in rough water--gotta wait for late spring to find out. My soft-chined plastic yak has more of a slippery, "rolly" feel when doing the same thing, which I like.

Yeah, I know the solution is to build a strip hull. Now, how can I possibly learn from one build if I change to a different type next time?!
