Brandon,
I remember you. Sounds like a neat project. Congrats on the new baby coming!
I followed Tom Yost's plans, but built them in wood. I shortened the length to 8' by adjusting the form spacing. I shortened the height by 1" which also narrowed the beam a smidge. If you poke around the yostwerks site, you'll find instructions on how to build the wood framed versions. I didn't use glue, but lashed and pegged the joints instead.
Sadie says that she wants to race kayaks, as she has really learned how to make her kayak move.

: Hi Mike,
: I believe we met last year at the Redfish gathering in Port Townsend. That's
: what really opened my eyes and mind to LITTLE kids having INCREDIBLE fun
: with kayaks. I have a bunch of pictures of (your?) kids paddling those Sea
: Fleas around, and have been wanting to build one since then. As it turns
: out, this particular boat I'm building for my friend's kid is
: carbon/vectran, vac. bagged/infused. I had way too much fun with the gel
: coat! :-) At any rate, my wife Heather and I are expecting our first child
: in February. I'd like to build him/her a Sea Flea. Can you turn me on to
: the plans?
: Thanks and take care!!!
: Brandon
