G'Day Doug' and Paddlewise,

Thanks for those links. The Celeste looks like a beautiful boat, or maybe
I'm a sucker for a good write up:~) It had me seriously thinking about
renting a workshop for a year!

Here's a webpage, which I'm pretty sure you will have seen, but it may be of
interest to others. http://www.nswseakayaker.asn.au/mag/29/design.htm It
gives an articles on design parameters by Norm Sanders with a linked
critique by John Winters. John refers to an article in Kanawa in which he
shows how "a good boat was almost inevitable so long as the builder does not
try to force natural materials to do unnatural things" Unfortunately I
couldn't find the article in the Kanawa archives but have emailed them for a
copy.

All the best, PeterO
