: Steve,
: That was one time the bear was chewing me. This is my first strip project,
: (my first kayak, period), and since I admired Joe Greenly's pretty deck
: designs, I thought I'd go him one better, (Can you spell
: "HUBRIS"?) and bring the design all the way around the boat.
: Hah! Bad idea!
: I soon found out that it's not a newbie thing to do. It's not that hard, once
: you learn a few basic techniques, but I really regretted not just making
: my first attempt a plane jane kayak. That's one of the reasons the project
: sat for a year.
: I can't say I'm sorry I did it, though, 'cause it sure is pretty!

: James

It is quite easy to do this with a little patience and fore thought. I spiraled the design around my hull to the back of the deck. There is a little offset on the one side but the other side came out great. Check out my web page for the results. Regards Erich.
