Chas

I've been getting neighbors and friends interested in kayaking and they've loved the freedom, experience, work-out, adventure, all the reasons. So when they see the cost of a yak they all want to build their yaks and save $$$. So, I've got several at different stages of different S & G yaks. It takes little real skill to build one, just patience and commonsense-and a little imagination. The yak building is fast versus a stripper and less cost in my experience having built 4 strippers to date-and I used hardwood species salvaged from dumpsters, too.
It's also possible to make a light SG versus a stripper-we'll see after the yaks are completed.

Just my opinion.
