Bill, I'm building a F1 design of Cape Falcon Kayaks. http://www.capefalconkayak.com/f1details.html

Although it's not a traditional SOF, it is like a traditional with steam bent ribs. I've glued my last scarf joint but haven't gone any further. Before I proceed, I'll take one last look at the local lumber yards for some white pine.....

Thanks,
Bill
