: OK, this is not a kayak. But this is my favorite forum, and I am pretty
: excited about how it turned out, so I hope you will all forgive me. It is
: a skin on frame boat, though . . . .
: It's a sliding seat rowing wherry, of my own design. I built it using methods
: I extrapolated from building many of Tom Yost's kayak designs. It's
: 18'x33" and weighs about 45 lbs. Skinned with 9oz polyester and
: coated with ZAR polyurethane. Build time was about 11 days, at a cost of
: about $165 in materials.
: In the pics, the sliding seat has yet to be installed. It rows just great
: from the stationary thwart, though - I laughed with every pull for the
: first five minutes!
: The oarlock spreaders are removable, for transport. The sliding seat frame
: will also be removable.
: Questions and comments are welcome!
