    A tease indeed! Note that Roger didn't mention wood, just epoxy. And he used the word little. Could be a carbon-fibre coracle he can throw over his shoulder and run up to a mountain corrie with!

    From the transcript:

    "because uh there's quite a lot of epoxy going to be involved"

    - so not that little:

    "um so Mingming 3 uh is being built from plans but plans which inevitably I will modify uh to my own taste"

    - and you don't need plans for a coracle, you just sort of build it, by eye.

    Anyway, it's all good fun playing this guessing game!

    Good thinking, Jan. Yes, or a junk rigged sea kayak?

    Oh, what a tease! A new build, of wood/epoxy, a modification of an existing design, and for exploration, not for staying at sea... Now I'm all agog to see what manner of vessel this will be.


    Not a SibLim, then David??

    Coulda been a contender,

    but no, not as far as I know.
