Some tight nesting, and the paddles are born.

Somewhere on the site is a link to a paddle plan. Having spent so much time on the boat, I will not stoop to using bought paddles. I managed to squeeze four blades and the breasthooks from the 2 sheets of ply. If one cuts the breasthooks from the 1/4 sheet required, 4 pairs of blades can be squeezed in.
