I wanted to put out some thank yous. As mentioned, thanks first and foremost to Tom for the design and valuable instructions.

Thanks to Don Taylor who stopped in when he was through town and showed me his pictures and chatted boat building with me. Thanks to the others on this forum that got the fire lit by showing pictures and descriptions of the kid kayaks they built. Heather, Kyle T, Mike Hanks and Anton Olsen come to mind. Also to Marcel, who must have been on of the forerunners of the kid kayak building group, and especially to his daughter McKinley who showed how awesome kids can be in a kayak.

If you haven't seen Marcel's pages yet, you should - http://home.comcast.net/~marcel.rodriguez/kidstuff.htm

Of course, thanks to Nick & Guillemot for providing a place full of inspiration.

Cheers,
Bryan
