: Thanks Bill,
: Sorry, I should have mentioned Rob Macks first. I did use his
: instructional manual for building the bow and stern.
: I used the Fire Star manual and it took several attempts with the
: stern. When I followed the manual and Rob's methods exact that
: is when it came out right.
: Rob is a true artist when it comes to strip built baidarkas. Thank
: you Rob, your technique for stripping works great.
: I just joined the deck and hull so the epoxy is sanded just below
: the shear area. I hope for better pictures very soon.

That's a gorgeous boat Clayton. That bow/stern look like a demanding bit of work.
