Solo on the Light Side

Your pics are very profuse ! No question, to how you build !
A great resource !

Now that you have gone the Stemless route, the Stem forms are ready to build again, without the labor of beveling the stems.

As far as weight savings? You think the stems, inner and outer, both ends, only adds 6 oz ?

It seems to me, your seat is very low ? Guessing it is set up for a double blade paddle.

With a seat that low, I'd add a backrest.
Just thoughts !

Looks great and that's a really nice weight for a 17' hull.

Thanks for all the work documenting the build... I'll have to try the seal coat on my next one.

Beautiful work and an exemplary build thread, @Cruiser! Thanks for taking the time to record each step and your thought process. We're all better educated thereby!
