Strip: Arcadia sister ship

At last! I am finally starting my future strip built kayak!

Nick's book "The Strip-Built Sea Kayak" has been on my bedside table for more than a year, and I've had already watched every video on his Youtube channel.

After "years" of delaying and good excuses to wait, even by buying a polyethylen kayak, I am finally starting my project.

As I will be posting news and pictures on various boards, I've setted up a quick website for the people who want to follow the building.

You will find it here : http://translate.google.fr/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=fr&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lomic-online.com%2Fkayak%2F (translated by Google)

or directly in french here : www.lomic-online.com/kayak/
(my browser ask me for translation when I surf on a foreign site, I guess you have the same feature as well)

or via Facebook if you find it more convenient : www.facebook.com/kayak.lomic (if you like the page, you will be noticed when new content is published, some people prefer that way).

Right now I've printed all the forms and I have to glue them to some wood before cutting.

I still have a list of choices to do for the different building options. Many of them are already mentionned on this page : www.lomic-online.com/kayak/projet/comment-se-deroule-le-chantier/ your input is welcome ;)

Of course I will watch this topic and surely wander around the forum when I will come to some issue :)

See you soon for the next step ;)
