laker 14
Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2008 4:46 am
hi am a fairly new member to jem, and am enjoying the various posts .
i have been thinking of building my own kayak for some time now , and although i have been waiting for the release of bluefin 12 i am starting to lean towards a laker 14 .in order of preference i am a fisherman /paddler
not a paddler/fisherman.i have built timber boats before i.e heron gaff rigged sail boat and an arafura cataraman, quite a number of years ago.
i think the laker might be a simpler "start boat" to sharpen up on my
skills.
"am i right ?"
I am a member of the pirate club in coffs harbour which is a club virtually dedicated to building in wood called plywood pirates,great bunch of fair dinkum aussies so i am sure i will get plenty of support from them.i like the look of hairymicks set up for fishing and if i can end up with a finished product like that i will be stoked. kind regards
