Donald- Last July before we started our 10 Maine trip out in the Deer Island area, we stopped at the WBS (2 of us had built wooden boats so there was no way we could drive by it without stopping). To our good fortune, the baidarka class had completed their boats and were scheduled to come and pick them up by noon on that day. Wow, what a sight. There must have been at least 15 boats all finished. These particular boats were not particularly light because of all the wooden ribs, kelson, chines, etc. A lot of wood in there. But boy, are they beautiful. Hopefully, someone else on the list can they you how they paddle. Good luck in the project.
