: Hey Rehd,

: Have a look at www.banbyachtdesigns.com They have two Mill creek type boats
: and a nice looking kayak that is just shy of 16' and about 23.5"
: wide. These are built S&G, but the panels are a bit different than with
: other's designs. You can get an idea of their methods on their web
: page.........I'd like to build a core sound some day.......that is a very
: nice, practicle daysailor! Anyway, there plans are resonable, though not
: overly detailed, but since you've been around this board awhile, I doulbt
: you'd have any problems.........the designer is good to repond to your
: questions too. I wish I could comment more on the methods, but my BirderII
: has been sitting in my garage since February, in the same state of
: progress.....I have the hull stitched together. I'm building with
: 1/4" luan (could not get 1/8"). If I started today, I do it with
: the spec'd 4mm ply.....I think the design deserves it and the bends that
: the ply has to make is a bit much for the 1/4" stuff. I had to make a
: seam down the keel line.

: Also, check out Stillwater Boats......They are very nice indeed and should go
: together with little frustration if you use good material. This is a
: tortured ply type of boat. I don't think that luan would do too
: well....1/8" maybe??? They are worth a look......the designer sure
: makes them look nice. These are not pure kayaks though.....more like
: decked canoes. garland Good luck, garland
