In Response To: Seeking: advice on kits: stich 'n glue vs strip (chas)

I was in your position last fall, not much wood-working experience and going back and forth between a S&G kit or a strip kit. I wound up buying the Night Heron kit from Newfound Boatworks (www.newfound.com) and I can recommend them highly (the boat, too). The kit isn't cheap, but they supply all of the materials you'll need. The strips are all milled perfectly and they provide good advice by e-mail when you need it.

Good luck!
