Btw, John,

If you've not built this boat, had no idea what a PDQ racer was - had to look it up, I've got an 8' dink plan that you can use if you'd like. Sails well too. It's a modification of one of Phil Bolger's prams that has a pointed bow instead. Very simple build, should be able to build on in maybe a long weekend
