Hi Jeff. I've only come across the idea of SOF boats this year. I had to give up canoes due to knee pain so was looking into kayak designs and discovered this whole new world of lightweight contruction! After seeing Dave Gentry's Whitehall I am now considering a small family row boat for our local canal and lochs; perhaps along the lines of an Adirondack Guideboat..
I was going to hint to my wife to buy your first fuselage book for Christmas. Considering your comments in the first post above and that a row boat is likely to be my first go do you think your new book would be more applicable as a Christmas present?
I've thoroughly enjoyed the education I've had on this topic via your youtube links and all the contributions here and on kayakforum and WoodenBoat.
Thanks very much
kind regards
Chris
