Don,

Very well done!
Thanks for sharing it with us.

Ken

: Just a quick thanks to the Kayak Building Bulletin Board, (and especially to
: Nick for sponsoring the board). I've lurked on and off for years,
: predating the release of Nick's book, the forced departure of
: "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named". and the turning-pro of Joe Greenley.
: I've stolen a ton of great ideas off of the board.

: Earlier this month I re-launched my latest kayak, a Redfish King shortened to
: about 80% of its design length. Final specs: about 14'6" and 33.5
: lbs. The goal here was to get a light-weight boat for my (much lighter)
: wife. This is hands down one of the nicest paddling boats I've ever been
: in.
