HMK RELENTLESS
Working after school during her sophomore and junior years at Hemlock High School, Lindsay Cook built this 15'8" x 26"kayak H.M.K. RELENTLESS. Following the plans for Pygmy Kayaks Osprey Standard, she used okoume mahogany plywood and epoxy. She got help from a retired shop teacher, John Schmude, and several peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. RELENTLESS was launched on July 4, 2004 with a bubble parade at Crystal Lake in Beulah, Michigan. Lindsay writes, "it paddles like a dream as it glides over the shiny blue water!"
