Started another kayak, building my own design on a frame. It's going slow because I have no patterns - have to size everything to fit. I wanted to try out some ideas - such as using 1/8 Luan plywood, building it much thinner than my other boats, a peaked deck in front and a flat deck with hatch in back, watertight compartments front and rear for flotation, etc. I will keep patterns in case I like it and want to build another.
One advantage of building on a jig, is that next time you can move the frames further or closer, raise them to change the shape, etc
