I'm thinking of building a skin boat but I can't seem to find any
explicit directions on the sewing technique.  I've tried Harvey Golden's
site,  bidarka and some others but no luck.  Any help out there?
On the subject of speed and age,  out on day trips with the local club,
I,m always out in front and have to watch that I don't abandon the
group,but on the few occasions that i've entered local races, I,m
bringing up the rear. ( the races and the day trips are made up of
completely different groups of people )  The big difference I've
noticed, at the races, is cadence, I just can,t maintain the rate that
the lead guys do.  Age?  I'm 61 and doing more day trips.
