Reading some of Micks post , brings up a question, Is the southwind based on the clipper and the northwind based on the sea wind.

I just reread this thread and I have another question ,if you set the foot peggs up as rudder control is there a way to have another set to brace against when you are using a yak paddle.

Matt,
Would it be possible to strip build flat panels for this boat and then cut as per plans. I know the twists might be tough but is it possible?

You could. But that's a lot of work. Might as well fully strip build it. I can help with that! :D
