: Thanks!
: The deck protrudes because I left the deck beams mostly protruding
: from the masik. It was a look I was going for - an experiment,
: as a lot of this boat was (seems like a lot of my boats are
: experiments, though....), that also makes for a stronger, yet
: smaller masik.

: As for plans, well, the original boat, CMC #375, is documented in
: Harvey Golden's must have book "Kayaks of Greenland,"
: as #67. There are no plans - I lofted it from the drawing, and
: made some modifications. I'll write up another construction
: guide soonish, though, if anyone is interested.
: All told, it took 4 part-time days to build the frame, and another
: 4 to skin and finish her. A bit quicker than average, but I was
: motivated to get as much done as I could while I had some good
: weather days (yesterday - sunny and in the mid 60's, today -
: snowing).

I would love to see a construction guide. I have never built a skin boat but, but its been in the back of my mind. My biggest concern is my rolling skills are not the best. I have built 6 kayaks and am looking for something lighter for some of the more remote lanches. Three years ago I built a 12 sea flee for my yougest son, and he has had a great time with in. Anyway nice looking kayak.
