: Mike Blandford recently finished building a Siskiwit Bay. I'm posting a few
: pictures for him. This is very exciting for me. This is what he wrote: I
: built it for my son but I crammed myself into it and launched it in the
: Chemung River yesterday - I'm 6'6", 240 lbs. w/ size 15 feet. I was
: so uncomfortable that I probably won't get into it again, but I had to see
: first-hand how it performed. It's a good boat. It's fast, tracks straight,
: and turns on a dime. I had fun paddling it and I know that my son will
: really like it.

: I used a combination of cedar and maple. It has a Happy Bottom seat w/ a
: Rapid Pulse back band and 1 large hatch w/ a Kajak Sport lid.

Bryan,

This "is" very cool, you'll be a professional designer soon, will be too important to talk to .

He did a nice job on the boat too.
