: are there any sources of plans for a competative strip built crew scull?

: is it reasonable to just build the hull of a kayak and add a sliding seat and
: oars?

: i found a S&G recreational design, but i want one good enough to compete in
: the olympics.

If you are looking for a single then here is a new design which was first launched last year (June 2002) and they just released plans for home builders last month ( June , 2003): Tehir site asys they are looking for the first 5 home builders to try out their design and their (soon to be built) web-based support BBS.
