If you have got the forms on the strong back you have already done alot of the work and saved yourself some of what comes in a kit. Why not just now buy the individual components (strips, epoxy and glass etc) and save yourself some money

: Has anyone built the Great Auk from a kit. I lofted the forms from the book
: and have them secured to the strong back. Since this is my first time
: building a kayak, I have decided to go with the kit. Can anyone recommend
: a reputable place that sells kits?
