: Has anyone here built one of Rob Mack's North Star, Shooting Star, or Fire
: Star? I am ready for a new boat (haven't built one in 2 years) and am
: wondering how difficult the bow is to carve and the stern is to strip. The
: bow doesn't seem too difficult, depending on if you want a cool figure on
: the top. However, the stern does look a little tricky. How difficult is it
: to 'glass those areas

Al I just finished up a Shooting Star my first wood project and first kayak. All comments are that it came out great, If I ever find out how to post a picture I will post some pictures. The stern took the most time to fabricate but if you follow Rob's directions and ask him anything you don't really understand it will be a gratifying experience. Will

Shooting Star as a first
