Bryan,

Look in 'Bark Canoes and Skinboats', and see who did the drawing. I don't have it, so I can't look it up right now.

The Iggy balance braces wonderfully, almost on it's own. Once you get it around to a certain point it wants to right itself. The higher volume and rectangular cross section of the Skene kayak makes it a clunkier roller than the Iggy. It still is not a bad roller, but the Iggy is my easiest rolling kayak.

To make the folder, I just used every other form, and used Yost's plans as a guide. It wasn't too hard.

Mike

: Mike,

: This is very helpful. Thank you. I'm not sure if Skene drew it up in 1923.
: Where does that appear and how would I find out?

: What do you think makes the Iggy roll easier than your Skinny Walrus?

: I'd love a folder, but that's in the future. Was it hard to translate the
: Iggy to a folder? Maybe, I should save it for that instead of building
: that design now.

: Cheers,
: Bryan
