In Response To: Strip built - Kid-size design questions (Dale Frolander)

: Shawn,
: I designed an 11' x 18" kayak for my son because I couldn't find any
: strip built ones out there. I will be bringing it to R2K3 (if I finish it
: by then), so you'll have to check it out. I think you'll be a little bit
: too big to take it for a spin.

Our second child is due in August, so I may be a no-show for this Rendezvous. Have Andrew Doornink demo it. I saw what he was capable of in the Grebe; I think he'll become a great "benchmark" kid kayak demo-er for the rest of us!

That kayak would just fit one of my feet. If you built a second, I could have a pair of highly efficient, highly beautiful water skis!!

Shawn
