Hi folks, I am following the traffic on this group for some weeks now and found a lot of interesting information and discussions. As a new kayaker, just started last summer with renting boats, I spent the last weekends building my own boat (stitch and glue). Some impressions of the still ongoing work are on my webpage. http://is.dal.ca/~uhoeger/vke.html It's not one of the kits offered by Pygmy or Chesapeake, it is a local Nova Scotian design, called Volkskayak. It was a good way for me to solve problems of transportation and storage (Volkskomponentkayak, see details on the web), and I did it in the company's workshop in a workshop, so no messing around with dust and sticky epoxy in my home and advise and a helping hand whenever it was needed. Now I am waiting for spring, or at least a nice, calm winter day. Cheers Ulli Ulli Hoeger Dept.
