: Wow. That is one nice looking boat.

I've admired Bryan's design for a long time and really need a do everything boat with a big cockpit. It'll be a "fast" build, bottom from gunwale to gunwale will be black, with graphite under the water so I can just bang it around and not worry about damaging it. It'll also have rubber hatches. I am going to try a couple new things on it, have a design for a CF coaming I've wanted to try (it's all curves) and want to work on a sling seat for it too. I still don't know what I'll do with the deck, have a little while yet to figure that out, hatches though will be recessed, which will take a little extra time.

Ended up with a couple illness problems over the winter that managed to suck up an inordinate amout of time away from the shop, so the baidarka is on hold till next winter. Will give me more time to get the shop better set up too.

There will be progress reports here, obviously ;)

Going to take lots of pictures, for a change, too.
