BEWARE!! That's the Boat building Virus!
Once you built one and it is finished you already start to think 
about the next project.  A different s&g design, a strip built, a skin 
on frame, change the current design.........
Sounds all to familiar to me.  I built a s&g last winter and earlier 
this summer I was somewhere in between building another s&g 
(make it narrower and longer and lower the shear), a skin on frame 
greenlander, or a baidarka.  Meanwhile I am pretty sure that I will 
stitch up another hardshell, starting in January.  And later I will get 
one of those skin on frames, or maybe a sailboat, or ........

Cheers

P.S. Is epoxy an addictive?
