The Greenland boards I have seen are pretty much the same as this except that they tend to be a bit narrower at the top then they are at the grip.

Jed, the May/June issue of Anorak magazine has a really good article on making a throwing stick by Ray Killan, the editor. http://members.aol.com/gokayak/anorak/ the only modification I would do with the rather comprehensive instructions is use a table saw with a angled fence for the harpoon groove...

I finally have some pictures developed and scanned of the CLC Northbay XL I built last winter.

It's an awfully beautiful boat, John. Very nice job! I have heard nothing but good things about the North Bay and CLC boats in general. I may have to build one myself just to see what all the fuss is about. On second thought, maybe I should finish the other two boats I've started first and then build a North Bay.

"the CLC Northbay XL I built last winter" Great looking boat. Any comments on how it handles in various conditions?

I really haven't had a chance to put it to a complete test. I've only had it out in waves up to 2' or so and on flat water. The only drawback I've found so far is that the bow tends to plunge into even small waves rather than ride over them. It makes for a wet albeit fun ride. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************

The boat looks gorgeous. Will we get to see it in person at the AKT Symposium?

Great job, John! How does it handle? Can we expect to see a photo of you sculling the new Northbay replace the photo of you sculling a FG boat on your website?!

Which reminds me of a question I asked this weekend, and nobody really had an answer: if the bow goes through the wave instead of up and over, wouldn't you maintain speed better? (Mine goes up & over, & it seems to me that it slows me down, but I'm not really sure...)

Many thanks to Scott and Gabriel for their information of Throwing Sticks. Strangely syncronicitous timing relative to the Anorak article and my request for information. Thanks again, I will explore both suggested site completely.
