: It's looking good! I've recently started my first kayak (Cirrus LT) and am at
: the point of filleting the deck. Looking ahead a bit, I plan to add a
: combination of mahogany & ash stem & keel bands but originally had
: in mind using brass. Looking forward to hearing more about how you're
: planning to do that, not just for this kayak but more importantly the next
: one I have in mind.

I belive that if you search the archives for brass stem band installation you should come up with my explanation of how I did it complete with images of the process. I haven't quite worked out how I'm going to install the brass on the RP Sport but have talked with Donnie at Waters Dancing about it. Basically, he's just happy to sell me the stem bands.
