: We put on the last coat of poly on today and installed the deck lines. We
: just need to carve a junior-sized Greenland stick and we will be ready to
: launch. The total time on the project was just under 40 hours. After nine
: coats of poly, the final weight of the boat is 15 lbs. We will post a
: launch report after we get it wet.

Hey McKinley (and Marcel),

It looks like you've built yourself a fine looking kayak! Be sure your Dad takes a pic of your smiling face when you launch her so we can all see.

Happy Paddling.

Charles.
