CS Build Blogs

[Slipperhead]

Folks,

I became interested in the Core Sound series after learning about the Texas 200 and similar events. I plan to build one as soon as I can get my garage cleaned out and sell off other hobby clutter I'm not using anymore. I will be sailing primarily on central Virginia lakes and the Chesapeake Bay. I've sailed one-design dingys and Hobies most of my life but am now ready to settle down into a nice, comfortable boat that can easily accomodate two couples.

Until recently, I was accessing a single web page that had links to perhaps 10 or more Core Sound build blogs. Now I can't seem to find it! Does anyone know where this page is? It is interesting to see how people build different mods and rig their boats.

As a build warm-up for the Core Sound, I just recieved my Flyfisher plans and should begin it in a few weeks. I have a heavy, sit-on-top, plastic kayak that I enjoy fishing from but am getting tired of the 70+ lb weight! I'm looking forward to wowing the crowd with a lightweight, custom homebuilt!

I'm looking forward to participating with the group!

If you really want to wow people with a ligthweight kayak though check out the Kudzu Craft forum for his skin on frame kayaks.

16 footers that weigh in just over 24 lbs.

I wonder if I had that list at some point. I did have a links program that crashed and burned just before the server move and transition to the new software here. I should probably try to rebuild a B&B Yachts Designs section in our current small Links section.
