: Hi Bill

: I built one to hang on a wall at a childrens camp last year. Here's
: a link to the build log, and a picture. I cut two 1" slots
: at the balance points and used 1" climb webbing to mount
: it.

Yup, that is the one I was thinking of. As Borat said - Very Nice! Looks like a very good organization as well.

It looks like a pretty standard KF design, shrunk down in lenght and width linearly? Mine will probably be a bit bigger, as the space on the wall is 12-15 feet long. I may just go with the default boat, as the lines are quite nice.

Looks like you glassed it in the end, huh?

I have never done a cutout for the cockpit, so will probably stay with th enormal coaming lip. I like the accent peices. It looks like you mixed the boards to get the light/dark pattern. I may keep track of the strips and try to book-match them, particularly if I can get my hands on some wood that gradually goes from light to dark along the length.

thx for the pointer
