Now, I'm not saying that this group gets an objectionable amount of spam. However, it seems to get maybe two or three such messages per week, and I belong to...
Friends, I just joined up after finding this group. Last month I completed my 14th or 15th boat building project and am now planning for what to do next...
Hi Casey, Welcome to the group. I'm new here, too, and am in the process of building an adaptation of the Rob Roy, but using the forms from a kayak I built...
Earl, Much thanx for the welcome and the notes. I am interested in a canoe about 11'-12' long to give me the stability I need. On calm days Chesapeake Bay...
Friends, I am planning to build a canoe in the 10'-12' length range next Spring. I'm trying to decide which GA model to build: the Nimrod 12? the SnowShoe...
Roland, That is a very good question. I am not sure how to keep the spam from showing up. I started this group with the intention of keeping it open to the...
I want to send out a big thanks to all of you who have joined the GA boat list. I am happy to see so many people interested in Platt's work. I have to admit...
as the owner of a dozen yahoo groups I can suggest changing the management settings to moderate new members only. As an alternative, dont do any moderation at...
Great suggestings. The list has stayed pretty clean over the last year. I went back and found a handful of spam messages. I will see what I can do to keep...
A recent member to our list has suggested that any members boat photos should be placed in the Files area rather than the Photos area. It appears that Yahoo...
Joel, Greetings! It's nice to hear from the moderator of this Yahoo group. An Idea: It might be good to limit the number of photos that any single member can...
I wouldn't recommend a radical change unless the spam becomes more rampant. It isn't really very bad at this point, it was mostly curiosity about the ...

Thanks for the photos John expecially the hi resolution one showing great closeup detail. I needed a good example to discuss the benefits of the FILES area and...
Thanks for the explanation. I was under the impression that Platt only used wood ribs for reinforcement although I can see that wood could easily have been...
... were ... Not impregnated. The Kevlar is under tension, and in turn applies compression to the entire wooden frame. The heat-shrunk Dacron does this as...
Scott--That is the kevlar roving--an essential to the strength and rigidity (as I understand it) of the craft. I'm not an engineer but think of it as the...
I'm thinking if the kevlar is not resin impregnated that it is a monster overkill in performance and price to just be used for its tensile capability only....
Thanks, I assumed the Kevlar would be exhorbitantly expensive. I guess not. I also dont know what a "strand" is but at those prices it must not be a lot of...
I posted some pictures in my photo album: http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/Airolite_Boats/photos/browse/46bb I finished the kayak I have been asking all the...

Wow Earl, them's a couple of purdy boats! The weight difference is a good question. i'm curious to find out which winds up being your prefered vessel. They...
Great news for the group. I have been in contact with David Dean, host of the show Boat Shop on Public Television. Back in 1996 they did a six part series on...
