: Hi Bill. The native peoples apparently built larger SOFs including two and
: three hole kayaks. Check out the Morris book; He's got boats of all shapes
: and sizes. The Dyson book also has some interesting large baidarkas in it.
: I found both books at my local public library.

Morris...yes, I have his book on order...I guess it was so popular that it sold out and is in it's second printing.

: There are all types of building techniques but you generally don't need
: station molds because the rib geometry is not very complex and it is the
: stringers that actually form the shape of the hull. I built my open decked
: kayak for hauling kids around. It is a regular tandem kayak with an
: altered cockpit arrangement. I can fit two adults and two kids no
: problem... the limiting factor is safety (i.e. how many squirts could I
: rescue in a bind).

A very sound strategy...

: Good luck with it,

Thanks! Did you take the photograph of the Master drilling holes in a frame (posted on a different thread earlier in the week or last week)?
