Bob, 
 If there is beauty in simplicity, then, this boat is simply beautiful.
 The "Jam 8" was featured in the July/August 97, Volume XV Number 4 issue of 
Boatbuilder Magazine.  The designer is;
     Edward Sutt, Jr.
     714 Green Bay Rd.
     Winnetka, IL. 60093
 This is a small, less than eight foot, Kiwi sort of kayak.  While it may not 
be suitable for extensive trips, it is a nice little backwater cruiser.  It 
is built from two sheets of plywood.  NO SCARFING.  It is stitch and tape 
construction.  My point being that it is the same technology as the big boys 
(CLC, Pygmy, etc.), BUT, you get to practice on 50-150 dollars worth of 
materials.  If you feel that your skills are up to it, tackle one of the big 
boys next.
