Anyone out there build the Melonseed skiff? Did you use plans from WB- or did you try the plans at Smithsonian or Mystic?

You should also look at the Seaford skiff plans at mystic. These boats are very similar except that Seaford skiffs have centerboards instead of daggerboards and most of them have a box keel. There are still about 25-30 of these sailing near Amityville, NY.
There was a fellow named Marc who posed some weeks ago about his Melonseed, which he built from WoodenBoat plans.
