RE: [Paddlewise] New boat

Anne-
I built my first boat, a cedar strip Wee Lassie, from a boat written by Mac
McCarthy.  I had no wood working experience.  Being female, I was never
given the option of "shop" class when young.  I had to reread the book many
times to figure out some of it and I also called Mac a couple of times.  I
loved it!  With every step accomplished, I learned a lot.  I still can't
believe that I built something so cool.  Now I'm building a sea kayak.
Bottom line:  Go For It!
