Just thought I'd say hi from Tasmania (Yes, another Australian!). I just finished a stitch'n'glue canoe and think by the end I had the techniques worked out in preparation for something a little larger. The Pocketship is the first micro cruiser I have found with every base covered - well in the game I am playing anyway. Designers like Welsford, Bolger and Michalak all have something that works really well for the home builder but doesn't have the combined charm, accommodation, performance, trailerability and simplicity of the Pocketship (and it's 2 feet shorter than my canoe)- congratulations John!
Our Aussie dollar is abysmal compared to the Greenback at the moment so I may have to wait a little while before purchasing the plans....just hope they are still $199 when I take the plunge.
