Oh, yeah, Bill's right. No room in the Sea Rider. I made the top of forms #5 and #6 an extra 1/2 inch thicker, to be stronger for getting in and out sitting behind the cockpit. Now, I can't even fit a full sized Nalgene bottle through the hole in #5. I went and bought very small nylon dry bags for my emergency dry clothing kit, and I have to squeeze it flat to fit it in. And, if I bring an apple or orange for lunch, I really should cut it up, because I get annoyed when the lunch bag fits in but complains about coming out.

But, yeah, great day boat. That's another reason why I want an F1, for occasional short camping trips and surf. Multiple diverse boats, mmmm.... Kinda like women who have all those shoes...

: Hi Michael,

: My Sea Ranger is seriously fast, also seriously skinny and the Sea Rider is
: skinner yet. Depends on how narrow a boat you are used to.

: I've been planning on building the Sea Dart for pretty much the same reasons
: you have, it's not as skinny at 21 1/2" but should be pretty fast.
: Tom worked up the design for me to allow more room inside, so should have
: room for camping supplies. His greenland style boats are tiny inside,
: would be lucky to pack a lunch in my Sea Ranger.

: The Sea Dart though is multi-chine, so it's a bit harder to build, but only
: slightly more so.

: Bill H.
