              You linked to the Team RAF blog 
                last year as they built their tris for the Everglades Challenge. 
                Now Alan Stewart (SOS of Team RAF and son of Dawn Stewart, SandyBottom 
                of WaterTribe) and his father, Paul, have begun 
                building a Core Sound 20 for the 2008 EC.

              The 
                Boaters TV is a weekly podcast that features mostly power 
                boat stuff but also includes some quirky and techy features. Besides 
                there is the perky, 20 something, anchorperson. it's kind of like 
                Rocketboom with boats.  |

              Hi, 
                Just back from a short 3 day trip in my Navigator. 
                I've started a web page to document a few Navigator related things. 
                You might like to check the log and a few pics at Whitsunday 
                Openboat. I will update as new things happen.

               When I was building my Tender 
                Behind there were times when I wished I could see a picture 
                of what I was trying to do. With that in mind, I have posted many 
                pictures of the Tender Behind build. I hope they help.

              Some of the best small boat plans 
                available have come from the frozen north, and can be seen at 
                Hannu's Boatyard. Half Pea, 
                the Plywood Lath Coracle, the Portuguese Dinghy, the Mini Auray 
                Punt and more are there, along with clear instructions, photos, 
                and some video of the boats in action. - Mike C  |

              A trailer like this belongs to 
                a paddling friend - it is available from www.rackandroll.com 
                . I am too cheap, I built my own racks to carry my kayak over 
                the bed of my pick-up....  |

              ...here is a link 
                to a how to article from Workbench magazine, that I used to build 
                my rack. They work great, they clamp on the bed rails, I don't 
                think they would work with a toneau cover, though.

                We have moved to a new location and changed our name along with 
                that move. We are now Platypus

              This 
                should be posted on as many Yahoo boat groups as possible. I especially 
                liked Yves-Marie Tanton's comment about the hull design being 
                essentially a beam. Do enjoy the vision of one man's journey.

                for the product, itself. I've been doing this for several years 
                and it works really well. Go easy with the torch and try to practice 
                with some scraps before you do the final thing.

              How good are you at docking? Well 
                then try this docking 
                simulator. It's not as easy as it looks even without adding 
                current and wind.
