Hi Hamish Life is full of coincidences and those 6 steps of separation stuff. With so many contributers, I think you can be excused for not knowing where I'm from. Like many, I started out sailing

Hello John Thank you for your interest on the KD 105 (nee DUO 105). There is general nothing special necessary for the construction of the KD 105. Plywood for instance Okume WBB is alright. You can
