Mill Creek 16.5 Launched in Aus
Hi,
I recently launched my Mill Creek 16.5 kayak and documented the build process in a blog: http://millcreekkayakbuild.blogspot.com.au/
It took about 18 months, but I had 3 to 4 months over the winter where I didn't do anything, and also fitted in the work around other projects. It was an enjoyable build and hope to get some good use out of the kayak. I plan on building some removable fishing rod holders, and also a tackle box, as I'd like to do some fishing from it around the waters of Adelaide. I made the front seat cleats longer than normal so I can attach a custom made removable tackle box to it.
Cheers, Justin.

Thanks Ralph. I do know those suburbs. I Live part way between the city and Glenelg, so not too far from the water. I haven't had the chance to venture across to your side of the world as yet, but we'll be righting that wrong later this year with a 7 week holiday to western USA. Are there any wooden boat attractions/shops on the side of the country worth visiting?
The shelf sounds like a good idea.

Nice looking Mill Crk, I hope you have fun paddling & fishing. For my WD12 I built a removable shelf that I attached a rod holder to.
Years (decades) ago I spent some time around Adelaide. I lived in Elizabeth, Christies Beach, Paynham... But I have lived back in California for the last 34 years.
