Re: [Paddlewise] Forager

Doug Alderson made the kayak in his North Saanich workshop, here on 
Vancouver Island. It's made from door-skin plywood, sized to his own 
dimensional requirements, with an epoxy/cloth covering and marine enamel 
paints. Doug did some time in his pre-professional vocational days as a boat 
builder, before he went on to become a shop teacher (woodworking, etc.). It 
was about his third design. It shares some similarities with Duane's latest 
plywood design, the Point Bennett (from what I can tell). Doug and I have 
spent way too many miles on the west coast discussing the minutia of deck 
rigging design options, which I believe came to full expression in his SK 
article. Doug is an exceptional paddler/waterman/coach/writer and 
do-it-yourselfer.
