Tandem Northwind

Matt,
I have read that you have been developing a Tandem Northwind. I believe it is around 18' x 30". After reading TRT and Darrell's builds and trip reports I would be interested in building one but I can not find the plans on the website. I originally was going to build the DK Touring Canoe but I like the Northwind better. I have built using plywood an fiberglass before and I know building it would not be problem. It would not be a fast build like some as I do not have a lot of spare time but it would get built. What is drawing me to the Northwind is that you can have the seat higher yet still have covered decks for wind. I live in Western Washington so I would be using it in rivers and lakes. I might use it in the sound but not at first. It would be myself and my wife or daughter. My daughter and I for fishing and my wife and I just paddling around.
Thank you,
Kevin
