Product Description
Although books on strip building canoes abound, this is among the first to adapt the technique to crafting attractive, functional kayaks. Using high-quality, computer-generated illustrations and photographs to explain key techniques, the book provides complete plans and measurements for three different kayaks: 1) A simple solo craft for beginners, 2) A high-performance solo kayak for intermediate paddlers, and 3) A tandem design for two paddlers. With its easy-to-follow guidance and instructions, The Strip-Built Sea Kayak makes top-notch kayaks accessible to budget-minded paddlers.

 Just what I needed to start my kajak project August 8, 2009
F. Mendes (Chch. New Zealand)
Well structured and written with lots of information to give you the kick start needed to begin making my strip built kayak.
All you need to know is in this book- July 8, 2009
Jesse Mcvaney (Connecticut)
The author truly covers everything you will need to know to build your first kayak. I will reccomend that if you have no previous knowledge of tablesaws or wood working that you should practce cutting with some cheaper wood before you go straight for the cedar- have fun!

Strip-built sea kayak August 2, 2008
Mike Aguiar (Marblehead, MA)
If you enjoy woodworking and want to build a beautiful, lightweight, high-performance sea-kayak for a fraction of what it would cost to purchase a similar boat, this is the reference for you. The book is well written and illustrated and provides enough detail to complete a project from start to finish. An excellent reference (5*).
 Great detailed book January 28, 2008

I have learned all the needed information required to build a Strip kayak.
Yet! the kayak plans in the book are not good enough for building a kayak. Purchase plans separately!
