Woody,
I LOOSELY based my design off of two articles from the net, one by George
Ellis and one by Gordon Brown (Thanks if yall are out there some where!).
Mainly I just used their table of sizes according to paddler height and ad-
libbed from there.  Has that epoxy broken down from UV exposure at all?   I've
heard rumors that it will.  The teak has turned out to be pretty nice looking,
and isnt as heavy as one would expect from Teak.  Nonetheless, my Trapezius
muscles do get quite a workout on a day's paddlin'.
thanks for the advice,
robin.
