: Hi,

: Only can comment on the building. I build a wood duck 10 from plans
: and personally i found it kind of unnatural in terms of s&g
: building.

: There are some very fine/sharp joints (deck hull joint at the bow,
: deck at the coaming), which are easily damaged during
: construction. The bow is under quite a bit of pressure.

: Very light though for a s&g kayak, it being only 10 foot
: probably helps.

Thanks for the comment.

Interesting about the difficulty and potential damage - I was toying with the idea of modifying the bow a little - I want to make it a little more swept back. I would try to test the idea before of course. Did you wet the material for the tougher bending . . or apply heat?
