Yeah, sorry it didn't work out with you and your wife Larry

Thanks for the update Jacques

Any recent news on the panga design? The more research I do the more I want to build one of these.

I really like what I've seen so far about this boat. I'd like to get more info on how it can be used (inshore, nearshore, offshore, recreation, etc.). If it's as versatile as I think it is put me down for a set of plans as well.

Basically 2x2's incorporated into the interior of the hull for mounting the poly sheets. That way you've got a bit mor...

Am I crazy, or am I the only one who buys the plans for the plans sake? I just like looking at the work that's gone into them, and getting ideas from them for the boats I do build, and if I get around to building them all someday, great. I've got six sets, and I've only built one boat. Keep 'em com...
