: This is one kayak kit that was suggested to me that I would like to know more
: about. The Waters Dancing website doesn't have any actual pics or much
: detailed information. They seem to come with lots of options at a
: reasonable price. I especially like the idea of taking advantage of the
: US/CAN dollar difference. Any idea how the tracking and stability would be
: compared to the Pygmy Osprey or the CLC 17LT? Currently, I'm leaning
: towards the Osprey. I emailed Pygmy and just found out that their new
: recessed rear coaming will be available on the Osprey Standard in about
: 6-8 weeks. Sounds good!

: Thanks,

Hey, Ken

The link below should take you to my yahoo site where you can view the pics of the Solace16XL. I neglected to take pics of the quick-lok joints but I can describe them. They are effectively just male/female matched ends, a male knob fits into a female...well, you get the picture. They fit together only one way so as to eliminate the possibility of mismatching panels. If you still need to see a pic I'll be stopping by Donnies shop with a bribe of donuts and hot chocolate on Friday. The treats distract them so I can sneak around and pick through their scrap okhume piles. You will also see some other pics of some of Donnies other boats. The Solace 18EX is my next project, the next next project will be the Lightening 14, and then I'm gonna try to build my first cedar strip, probably the Night Heron. If you have any other questions just yell.
