I have now cut all the parts to build a new D5. This time I will be using
stitch and clue with quality epoxy.

I will also try to rearrange the position of middle seat to properly balance
the dinghy for two people. I welcome comments on relocating the seat to
better accommodate the weight distribution for two people.

I apologize for my lack of familiarity with the design, but if I were
doing it, I'd make movable seats, with more than one rowlock point, to
allow balance with any load character.

When I used to deliver and teach rowing with Little River, their
Heritage series could be configured to single or double. Likewise,
therefore, if you had passengers, you could put them either fore or
aft and use the apposite rowing position to balance...
