Nick, I am a backyard one-time kayak builder from Australia, and I am writing to say thanks for producing such an informative and inspirational guide to boat building. I have just finished my boat
(17' Great Auk) from the
plans in the book - it took me a year with interruptions - and have paddled it once. It has also inspired a few other people to get the book and get building. I have attached a few pictures of it because I am very proud of it, and if it wasn't for your book, I would not have known about boat building at all. Thanks again, and keep on maintaining the website (if you want to put the photos on it, I won't complain). Lyall Bogie Minnamurra Australia
