: T'd like to get some feedback from anyone who's built a PAX 20. What are the

: speed, etc.
: Many thanks,

I've got plans for one, havn't built it yet, so I'm no help. It's rep is that it's the fastest s&g boat you can build, nearly as fast as the pure racing boats but a bit more stable. There is a limit to how stable a 19" wide boat can be :)

Never thought about it till just now, maybe I'll build it skin on frame ala Tom Yost, have the plans and most of the materials. I'll have to do some measuring to see if it'll fit out of the shop, it's pretty long.
