Speaking of Dyson kayaks, I was comparing his hull designs to narrow
sharpies, and since I mentioned the river boat, has anyone given
consideration to extending Dysons building style to a small sharpie such as
CLC's John's Sharpie.

I was thinking of my next boat, and I like Dyson's aluminum designs, and
also John's Sharpie. Any reason Dyson's style couldn't be extended?
The sharpies are a little flatter, and somewhat wider. Since the aluminum
could not of course make a sharp bend this would imply more rounded corners,
but why not?

Mark mentioned underwater seams, but is this a problem if it is sewn and
then sealed?
