While wandering around on the web, I came across the plans for the boat my dad built in the early 70s! What memories it brought back!

The Glen-L Cruisette filled our garage for at least a year while we were building it.

As much as I love the kayaks, I really do miss having a boat that I can take out in worse weather than I am willing to go out paddling in, or being able to travel at more than a couple of knots when I want to explore other areas.

I definitely want to build another boat, but I suppose I should clean out

This forum is the place to go for discussing issues related to building kayaks. It is run by Nick Schade of Guillemot Kayaks, but the discussion is open to builders of anyone's designs. Many other designers also participate and provide an invaluable resource.
