: I've built one also, and in the days when I was still imortal I took it out
: on the bay in some truly shitty weather. It was great!
: Bob

Me too!
For:There's no small undecked boat that can handle rough water better. It's pretty, easy to build and light with 1/4" sides and 1/2" bottom.
Against:Blows about when lightly loaded (compared to a yak) not as fast as the 19' version (avail from PCBolger) nor as easy to organise 2-3 passengers (GG goes best with one)
GREAT boat
