: If you decide to go with this model you may find the description Putz gives
: for constrution his building forms to be a bit difficult to follow. I've
: translated his description into simple coordinate numbers that you can
: easily plot. You should be able to find the URL for these by searching the
: archives, but if not, e- mail me and I'll send you the URL.
: With Putz's plans you'll use just under 2 full sheets of plywood for making
: the forms. Rehd has taken the coordinate numbers and was able to cut all
: his froms from 1/2 sheet of plywood. Potentially a $30 savings. On a boat
: that typically costs under $200, this is a significant additional saving.

Building wise, it's all well and good. I have read all the old posts on building the boat. but I am interested in how it paddles. I intend to use the end result, and need to know if it;'s the right design for me. There is no description in the book, and I have not been able to find one on this sight. any of you who have built it, could u tell me what kind of characteristics it has? good bad, I want all the info I can get.
