: A hundred seven hits, and noone suggested a design...I wonder why. With your
: woodworking experience, building the thing won't be a problem...but you'll
: have to decide on the design based on personal preference, and the amount
: of work you want to do. Mr. Shade's book includes offsets for stations,
: which is basically the plan...right? The same holds true for Ted Moores'
: kayak book. It's much easier to order the plans from the designer (and it
: helps support their efforts to continue to create boats). Check out Mark
: Rogers' designs. He lives in Wiscosnin (Superior Kayaks). I've had a good
: experience working with him on a skin on frame boat, and his wooden boat
: designs are very sweet. I've built Rob Macs' Northstar, and that boat
: always gets attention.
