Skin-on-Frame: Chuckanut 15 Double *PIC*

I designed this as the big brother to my 12' Recreational Kayak (which I've now named the Chuckanut 12). It's a recreational double kayak, that can also be easily paddled by one person. I built it for a friend's parents.

SOF, obviously, 15'x32", multi-chine, WRC, Redwood and 1/2" Meranti marine plywood, skinned with 8oz polyester. Should be stable and comfortable, and - at about 37lbs - easy to cartop and carry, too

Questions and comments welcome, of course.
