: Thank you so much, that will help A TON!

CLC Boat builder's club (you need to create an account):
http://www.clcboats.com/accounts/register/ And after you create an account, there's a "Builders' Club" link that you can click on in the bar on the right side of the screen. The Builder's Club has a directory of other registered builders

There's info in this link on a boat built as a high school senior project:

I can't find the student builder's blogs atm, but Dan Millsip's daughter and Dan are building a Bear Mountain Magic together, and she's a high school student. I'm pretty sure she's 14. You can read the thread they've been posting about it at http://www.westcoastpaddler.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=1922

I'll look for the student blogs tomorrow.
