: over strong/heavy with 1/4" luan!

: I like his plans so much, I am now starting a "Storm SLT" for Jean,
: the "Silver" will have to wait, so many boats so little time!

Hi Dave -
Too funny on the SLT. That's what I'm planning after I finish the Cirrus and the Merganser. Did you recess the cockpit on your Cirrus? Curious about how you like the coaming height. It should be almost the same as on my Storm, which doesn't seem to need a recess, but required a couple of foam blocks for thigh/knee braces.
