Randy,

Which one are you going to build, 15'3" or 16'2"?

haven't decided yet for sure. But leaning toward 16'2". I've got a few months to ponder before I get started...

Here is one of a number of pictures of a freedom solo 16-2. Should be finished by May.

Lookin' good so far Jimbo.
I look forward to seeing more shots of it to get a better idea how the lines look. This boat is on my short list for a solo tripper.

The arrangement of strips is great and the shouldered tumblehome adds a nice touch to the lines... looking forward to what she looks like right-side up on the water!

This boat is on the top of my list once I am able to get back to building boats. Has anyone glassed around the corner of that chine? It looks pretty sharp and I'm concerned about how glassing it will go (inside and out). Am I worrying needlessly?

Jimbo. it looks real good. Unfortunately I have several projects in the works and the forms are up --- have been since Sept. and I have made no progress.

Please keep us updated with the progress so far.

Jimbo -- Looking good. I've been waiting to see how this one would turn out. I saw that Blue Water canoe is marketing a kevlar Freedom solo. I wonder if it's the same boat.
