Thanks Chip & Scott---It's good to be back building again but I will be slowed by the cold weather in a cold garage. I am excited about trying to make this yak a safe self rescueing boat like I did my first one, only it was 26 inches wide and easier to do then this 21 1/2inch wide yak will be. It worked on the pricipal that when you fell out of the yak you put more water in rather then pump it out and that stablized it like a pontoon boat so you then just paddled to shore. The picture below is of the old yak with a side entry while flooded and stable.
