Bufflehead (Sailing Canoe)

[swampwood]

Looks like I might be putting my (plans) on hold for awhile and build this boat for someone else. I will know for sure in a couple of weeks after I get the plans and we come to agreement.
You may see this one in Lake Ponchatrain.

Jack,
The designer lives or lived in your home state. Do you know anything about this boat?

Sorry, that's one of the Michigan boat builders I don't know.

I'm thinking the Bufflehead could be a very challenging build. Lots of kevlar & stuff.

Kevlar isn't much different than handling/laying fibreglass...more expense, though.
Personally, I'd build that one with a cold pressed wood layup and just use fibreglass.
