Well I'm still flip-flopping over which boat to build. Now I'm leaning toward the free kayak plans from jemwatercraft.com, but I might try to build an open model with a fore and aft deck, like the Toto plans. I also am thinking about using the same 1/8 in Luan skins I used on the Lark. Seems strong enough, water-proof enough, and lighter and easier to handle. If I build the free canoe (again, with decks) I could still use the 1/8 inch Luan.

First I plan to build a Flying Mouse sailboat, or maybe the Puddle Duck Racer model.
