: More or less yes. That was Allan over on Blue Heron. I had wanted

: I thought he did a very good job too.
What Jeff said is true. Also, if you were comfortable paddling a narrow boat you shouldn't have any trouble with an inch or two difference in beam unless it has drastically different hull characteristics.

For what it's worth the first boat I built was 21" wide (designed to be 20 and built a little sloppy). The second boat I built (for me) was 18" wide and the most recent is right about 19". If you can try a boat out, or a similar design, don't be put off just by the beam measurements.
