Your new design looks like a fun playboat that your aunt can borrow back from you occasionally ;^)
I was wondering if someone was going to notice the link to the Mini Benny page missing from my website. The reason I removed the link was because I was getting questions every couple weeks from people who wanted to build the Mini Benny for the wrong reasons. While I like the design and it fits some of my needs, it is not a beginners kayak because it is a bit tippy, it is not a surf specific kayak (thought that's where I usually use it), and most people asking about it were too big (with 6.5 inches of depth at the back of the cockpit, it's best to be skinny). Also, a lot of first time builders were interested because the construction is easy, but with about 10 more hours of work, you could have a full size sea kayak, which is much more useful. In short, the kayak was mostly appealing to people it wasn't well suited for.
