Malcolm,

I hate to see a grown man cry, so here's what I'll do. After testing in a
week or so, I put the offsets on the website for anyone interested. I don't
build from plans, just offsets. In addition, I've got over 3GB of kayak
construction pics and info for anyone interested. In fact, I've posted
offsets for nearly all my designs.

The book is moving along...slowly. Especially now that kayak and motorcycle
season is upon us. Next to retirement, these are two of my favorite activities.
(See attached) I'm thinking of making it an E-Book so that it's free to
everyone, plus, I can make changes and additions in real time.

We live in drought striken Colorado, so paddling is limited to very windy lakes.
I share the local lake with the wind surfers. However, I don't get much ocean
paddling. Did paddle "Symetrik" a few weeks ago north of Monterey, but on
mostly protected waters. it was real windy, so I felt right at home.

Thanks for the comments...Now stop groveling.

Tom
