Just a pic of some of the kids in my class at the WoodenBoat school this summer. It was family week, and there were lots of kids and their parents all building Chuckanut 12 kayaks. They all finished them during the 5 day class, and had time to build paddles, too - including a Greenland paddle one of the mom's wanted. The kids seemed to like their boats - though I think the C12 is sized better for adults.
