: Hi Bill,
: The larger back wheel (26" MTB) is handy. A bit less sensitive to the
: surface and easy to get drive components.
: They're a good way to balance out exercise. Kayaks for upper body, cycle for
: legs.

: Got the plans for a Shooting Star recently. Very fast delivery. I'm at the
: "getting to know the plans" stage. Reading the book, then get
: distracted by the lines plan, you know, the 'vacant look with the smile'
: look.
: Twill be finished when it's finished and hopefully I'll remember to take
: photos. And post them.
: Just got to re-do the floor, timber lay, then re-arrrange the workspace.

Btw, years ago I built a two wheeled hand cart for a dinghy I had then (still have). The lengthwise tube was only 3/4" x .058 wall 6063-T6 aluminum, weighs next to nothing, just means that the wheels and hitch have something holding them together when the boat's not on the cart. Still have to strap the bow to the tube (forward cradle) since that tube is so light it doesn't offer much support.
