Skin-on-Frame: VARDO launched *PIC*

My latest, VARDO. 17 foot by 24". The goals were to build a stable boat suitable for a new paddler and could haul camping gear when needed. Took her our today for a test paddle. She is not going to set any speed records but she is very comfortable and roomy. Not as high volume as I had expected but I am well pleased. It paddled very nicely.

I swapped boats with Randy so I could snap some photo. I joked with him and told him he is becoming my model. :-)
