I've been thinking about building one of these.  God only knows why.  I love
my Caribou, and I'm not sure the Northbay would be that different.  But it
strikes me as a fun project.  John, do you mind if I ask, the boat is very
narrow (20") and quite long (18'6") -- how would you compare it to a boat
like the Caribou?  I've never paddled a boat that narrow.  Also, have you
weighed the completed boat?  If this subject has already been covered here
on PW, I apologize -- perhaps John could reply to me directly, if so.  TIA.
Mark
