Since it's getting to be Fall, I'm getting the urge again (to build another boat)....since I have two Baidarkas I thought a different boat would be nice...I'm considering a Hooper Bay...I have the monograph (with full size plans) that David Zimmerly did in the late 70's....however, before I really get into doing this, I would like to get a little input from ANYONE that might have constructed and paddled this boat already....it's SIGNIFICANTLY different than a Baidarka for example the beam at the cockpit is 30"....anyone's input about this boat, either in the area of construction or use would be greatly appreciated....Russell *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
