In Response To: Launching: Bobīs Special Canoe *LINK* (Pascal Matzler, Southern Chile)

: Hi all,

: after 8 months, the canoe is finished and ready for the water.

: I wish to thank all those who so generously share their knowledge on this
: forum, especially Pete Rudie, who advised me on the use of locally
: available epoxy systems, ansd who displayed a remarkable tolerance of my
: panic mails...

: Also, I wish to announce the imminent start of a new project: one of those
: skinny wood strip cigars with a hole in the center. And I blame this on
: you people, who without knowing, talked me into building a kayak and then
: learn to use it.

: I would never dream of doing such a thing, were it not for the e-proximity of
: so many experienced kayak builders and paddlers. So, many thanks and enjoy
: the fotos of my boat.

: Happy holidays,
: Pascal

: Below is the link to the foto album.

Good job on the Bob's Special. I built that design for my first stripper in 96, it is the most used boat I have. You will enjoy it for sure! It even made a few trips back and forth to St. Vincent Island, Florida this month.
