: Pretty boat - congrats!

: Good luck!

Dave, I hadn't thought about the drips, but it makes sense. I am planning on building a stripbuilt this winter, just haven't decided on which boat yet. Maybe a Spring Run, I think I would like a fairly stable boat for my first sea kayak. I thought the paddle project would tide me over for a bit.

Thanks
