Skin-on-Frame: trainer racing canoe

This isn't exactly kayak building, but it is similar, and this is the forum I used to post a lot on when I was more actively building kayaks.

My kids have gotten into flatwater canoe and kayak racing. They are short on canoes, so I am building a trainer C1. I plan on using a "Yost-style" construction. I am planning on 4 cross-section stations plus the bow and stern, with 3 stringers between the keel and each of the gunnels. I'll add to this thread as I make progress.

On another note, I will be leading a father/son kayak building workshop in February and March. I still need to figure out how many kayaks we will be building.
