These boats have proven their worth in many trips since the article was originally written. I notice now, however, what I didn't then, which is that the numbers for wetted surface and waterplane area are given in inches squared, when a rudimentary sanity check tells us they should be feet squared, e.g. 29 square inches is about the size of a kleenex tissue
Beautiful, all the very very best for the expedition, lets hear about the adventures.
Delightfully ingenious. Puts me in mind of the small boats designed by Phil Bolger — minimal size, big spirit, fine tuned to defined purpose. Kudos!
