Announce: Free Guillemot strongback to good home via R2K3

I'll be bringing my strongback to R2K3 on Friday evening and Saturday. The first person to E-mail me before the end of Thursday can have it. If I look at my E-mails after Thursday and I don't see any reply's I'll bring it anyway just in case someone not on the board wants it.

It's the 2x4 internal kind. It's semi-straight and I think it has a slight twist at one end, but that doesn't matter because the forms are supposed to be adjusted to be in alignment. I built the Guillemot triple with it, then I cut it shorter (I cut the twisted end and I can't remember if that got rid of all of it) to make dreamweaver which is an 18' kayak. An 18' or shorter (by cutting it) kayak can be built with it.

The only reason I'm getting rid of it is because I have a 6x6 external strongback with electrical outlets and I have no need for the internal one.
