Paul-

Thanks for the great ideas. If you can find the time to shoot me that article, I would appreciate it.

For next year, I'm going to take baby steps. Current plan (surely will change 23 times between now and October) Is to do a Little Auk for the girls and a 7/8 scale Doulble Guillemot. The double Guil will be tough to get down to the two balling ball weight, but here is the idea:

5/32" strips of walnut with a four strip keel of locust or osage for strength. Deck of 1/8 whatever. 4 oz everywhere in and out (perhaps kevlar inside of hull?), with extra on bottom for abrasion. The coamings (and this killed me this year weight-wise) will be a monocoque structure of 1/16 ash, wrapped with a fair amount of glass.

Perhaps in two years I'll try to wean myself from the plastic. I liked your basic outline. It's in the growing kayak folder.
