: As to Tom's instructions I had to walk away more than once shak'n my head, How the """" did he do that, lol, but in the end the adventure was well worth it Kevin

My last build was a small sailboat; no I haven't gone over to the dark side, more canoes and maybe a kayak to follow I am sure. But the designer didn't go to a lot of trouble with instructions, just very clear drawings, the Bill of Materials, options for sailplans and advice when requested on what I could safely change to suit myself. That left me free to try my whimsical ideas and I got a nice, and very easy to build little boat that turned out so well he adopted my boat's name for the design. It's good to get a choice, one of the benefits of a modern design from a living designer committed to support his clients.
