: Thanks guys, I'm still debating on which design to build. Also half thinking
: that I may cover it in dacron, not sure how much I have left after the Tom
: Yost SOF I built last fall, have to get the roll out and measure.

Had to go search links, memory is shot . Right now I'm leaning towards the "pilgrim monument museum kayak" also called the "mcmillian" kayak I think. I might have to order some more reference books, probably about time I finally ordered Harvey Golden's book too.

Comments about this kayak? I'd like a SOF sorta like my NDK Greenlander, have grown to be very fond of this boat except for it's weight to carry, feels like 75 lbs, but probably is somewhat lighter, not much :) The SOF will be considerably lighter. Rob Mack's Disko Bay is also one of my favorites, have one of those too :)
