Your guide to professional results using simple stitch-and-glue construction and pre-cut marine plywood

Step-by-step instructions show you how to assemble the most popular plywood kayak kits available today including:

• Pygmy Coho (Pygmy Boats)
• Mill Creek 13 (Chesapeake Light Craft)
• Enterprise (Bear Mountain Boat Shop)

A boatbuilder's journal records the building of each kit on a day-to-day basis, from opening the box to launching the boat.

Simple stitch-and-glue construction demands neither special skills nor special tools. This book supplies the knowledge and experience you need to achieve professional results.

Working with Kayaks You Can Build as your guide is like having two professional boatbuilders helping you with:

• Basic plywood boat-building techniques
• How to read plans and drawings
• Choosing the right kayak for your needs, water and skill
• Setting up your work area, necessary tools
• Minimizing exposure to toxic fumes and dust
• How to avoid and correct mistakes

Kayaks You Can Build enables the first-time builder to assemble a kayak with truly professional results.
