: Be aware that the Morris measurements make an oversized boat. With your body
: dimensions it will be big. Really big! Take a look at Chris Cunningham's
: book and compare the anthropometric measurements to the Morris book.
: You'll be amazed at how much they differ.

So far, I'm pretty happy with the size. I've finished the basic woodwork. The overall length, tip to tip, is a hair over 19 feet, and the beam is 24 inches. In order to really get a good comparison to Cunningham's design, I'd have to build another boat. Now there's a thought!!!! (-:

I guess I better skin and float my first one first!

When I figure out how to include a picture, I'll post a few.
