But you can build your own, and in fact there is a guy in Holland that builds them semi-professionally. He fell in love with them and this is all he does now..

I am sure you can build your own, do a search online for plnas, and if you can't find, send me a pm, I'll get my friend to help. He's from Spain. I'm buying one, soon.
Giulietta: Thanks for the reply. I like that they are made from wood -- easier for a homebuilder. If I can't find plans online I'll contact you.


Robert Gainer: How does the centerboard of the St. Lawrence Skiff work? You said it was a "fan type" that expands. I'm having trouble envisioning that?
