I built a San Javier hard chine stitch and glue from a kit.  Next I built a Pygmy Golden Eye from plans and altered that boat a little bit.  Now Megan and I paddle boats that I've designed, all in stitch and glue.  We have a multichine and a Greenland style hard chine boat.  I'm fascinated with the Greenland style and believe some variant of this design is probably what you should be paddling if you're talking about weighting down your Wind Dancer (or whatever) with lead shot.  I have a few more designs on the drawing board.  I'm also working on a surf playboat, and will eventually design a double.  Oh yes, we also both have Feathercraft K-lights.  Haven't put these boats into challenging conditions yet, but they sure are fun to paddle, especially knowing anywhere in the world that we can drag a backpack to is a potential launch site.
