In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: Sea Bee 13 (Rusty Koscianski)

: I would like to build a Sea Bee 13, Tom Yost design kayak. This
: will be my first kayak and I am looking for the simplest
: project. I chose the hard chine Sea Bee because of its
: simplicity. However I noticed that Tom Yost doesn't show the
: offsets for this design any more. Is it still a good boat to
: build? Are there any that are as simple and easy for a first
: project? I'm 6'0" and weigh 175.

: Rusty in Annapolis

What Dave said and the slightly longer boats are actually easier to build, the curves are less severe. After building both the single chine and multichine (Dave has too) I find the multichine slightly more complicated, but certainly easy enough for a first time builder.
