Jay,

This practically sounds like a CHALLENGE to skin boat builders.

Now Tom Youst likes challenges. I'd bet that if Yost ever reads this he'll have his hat off in a second, so he can scratch his head as he ponders how to build this with an aluminum/HDPE frame -- and he'd probably want to build it so it could be taken apart for trael.

Of course at three other points around the world even more people now are probably contemplating ways to surprise you.

You never want to say "never" around this crazy bunch of boat builders. They'll make a liar out of you every time.

Love the boat. The design is great. And of course I just can't wait to see it rendered in fabric and sticks.
