Thanks for the kind words, questions and suggestions. Most of my boats have been sold off by now. My brother is enjoying my Wee Lassie, the Vallaincourt Birch Bark is hanging in a Bass Pro somewhere and the rest of them have gone off to new homes for new adventures. I will post a photo of a...

I think I've read every Phoenix thread on this site. Folks are pretty happy with their boats. The river/stream in that thread is as flat as I'll never see here. We seem to always have wind and if not, we are looking at late summer and round, glacial river stones just under or at the surface, so...

I guess it's my turn to join this site to learn and contribute when I am able. I'm located in northern New Hampshire with plenty of rivers and lakes nearby. I've owned and used enough boats to have opinions. I've even spent a couple of summers (a million years ago) building kayaks (Hyperform)...
